How to actually retain all this information

Do you ever take notes on the things you read? Make any highlights? For digital books I'll copy and paste passages that I like into OneNote under a folder called self improvement, and get a highlighter for paper books. Then instead of reading the whole book again I'll have the important parts right there.

Write notes and check the theories with real life. If you have experiences to back up the theories or to refute them, then they are written in your memory.

Depends on the book. Use your own judgement to determine whether it's worth a re-read or not. I usually re-read my personal classics (eg The Power of Now, Antifragile, etc) every year or two. Moreover, I'll take notes (albeit very rough and sparse notes) on a new book if the messages and lessons are big

You can't. There is a study that the mind can only retain 3 or 4 things. If you're running game the best course of action is to read and identify 3 4 rock solid items you feel right about using and go out and apply them. Do this every new time you go out and up your game increasingly. Otherwise you will be shooting yourself in the foot getting too far in your head not properly getting to apply
