Salam Alaikum, Shaykh al-Asiri –
May Allah reward you for the beneficial article.
I had a question about Sharh al-Awn al-Kabir – Is this the same as Awn al-Khabir of Maulana Sufi Abd al-Hamid Khan Swati? I’ve ran into both titles, but I’m not sure whether they are the same or not.

Wa alaykum salam. It’s a different title.

As salaamu ‘alaykum,
For those of us who don’t speak urdu, is there an alternative to al-Fawz al-Kabir and its commentary. I’m aware that there is an Arabic version of al-Fawz al-Kabir. But, as far as I know, al-Awn al-Kabir is only in Urdu.

Al-‘Awn al-Kabir is in Arabic, by Mawlana Saʿīd Aḥmad al-Pālanpūrī. There are several similarly titled commentaries in Urdu, though.

Wa alaykum al-salam! It’s a decent book and is used in some universities as an introductory textbook but I would recommend the introductory texts mentioned above over it.
