When you say "yes or no" questions, do you mean questions that cannot be answered with "yes or no"?

I mean "yes or no question words" like do you, have you, can you, will you, may you, and must you.

Have you found any other question words?

I think "what if" may be another question word.

I think they are auxiliary verbs and modal verbs, but I am not a teacher.

In spoken English, you can form questions with rising inflection. It's still a yes/no question, but done without a 'wh' word or axillary verb.
"You went to the market?"

You can also form tag questions. Some of them are still using auxiliary verbs.

"You went to the market, didn't you?"
"You went to the market, no?"

Spanish does the same except I think auxiliary verb doesn't go behind sentence.

They are auxiliary/modal verb but I think they do answer yes or no questions. I forgot to put "be you" as another example.

Does 'Any questions/suggestions/opinions/objections?' count as a question?

Kinda but it is almost like saying "do you have any question?" or "what else?". Isn't it?
