Would it be possible to have an italics and bold version of this font? I don't believe such versions are currently provided.

I think most font systems will generate those on-the-fly. If you need something better than auto-generated, I may get around to hand-made versions eventually, but not anytime soon. I'll leave this open as a reminder though.

Sorry, but I'm a total newbie with respect to fonts. What does this mean exactly?

It means that the font subsystems on windows/linux/osx will algorithmically bold/italicize fonts upon request when a bold/italic variant is not installed. I can go into Word, type something with DaddyTimeMono, hit the bold or italic buttons, and they work!

Interesting. Currently in Neovim, I can see that some themes actually utilize an "italics" version of the font, even though it doesn't exist:
