I have a client who hosts multiple events a year [100+) in different locations they need a few custom fields on the event template as well as some info they want to add post event.

(1) Is there an easy way to add a few fields to an event type.
Such as Event host name and contact details.
Date the booking was made
Name of the event organizer etc.

(2) Is there a way to add some follow up data about an event that only admins can see
Such as
attendance
Product Sales total
Event Donations Total
Volunteers interested in tour etc etc
and other custom drop downs
3) Upload Follow up reports [filled out on paper] via an upload tool

Is there a way to accomplish some or all this in the current set up?

To add fields to an event type, you can add custom fields to events / event types. Have you used CiviCRM custom fields? If you entered the fields in the custom data set, you can then use them in a profile so they appear on your registration form.

About the follow up data: you will need to collect some data before you can report on them using the recipe above for instance. Once you have done that there are many ways in which you can report about these items. If you have PHP skills you might even use 'inactive' custom data that the user does not see, and use the CiviCRM hooks and API to populate the data.
