OK, I'm going to try to answer your questions. First though, it sounds like you're mostly on the right track. :)

How old is your kitten? I'm guessing between 6-9 months going by your problems with her.

Scratching doors is a relatively easy fix - keep her nails trimmed and ignore it 100% of the time.

For most of these problems prevention and rewarding good behaviors is the answer, honestly. Ditch the spray gun entirely, you've already seen its not working and it's much easier to teach her what you do want.

She NEEDS access to scratchers. Cat nails don't grow like ours or like dogs, they grow up and out in layers like an onion. In order to pop the top layer off (which she needs to do for healthy paws) she needs to scratch. Make a point of rewarding her when she's scratching her post. You can also sprinkle catnip on them to encourage her to use it.

If she likes chewing on cardboard I'd get her some old boxes. She may be teething (kittens get molars around 9 months) so having things she's allowed to chew is very important. My cats liked this when they were teething. They still love it, actually.

As for her waking you up early, ignoring her is a big part of it. NEVER feed her until you've been awake an hour, or she'll need to get up an hour before you to start 'hunting' (aka being a pest).

The second piece to that is to tire her out at night. Either hide her evening kibbles before you go to bed so she has to 'hunt' for them, or use a wand toy to run her until she's panting then give her a snack.

That should get her sleeping longer.

Most of the problems your having are kitten problems and she'll grow out of them. Play with her more, consider clicker training, and wait. If you're consistent she'll be better behaved by the time she's 2 and more grown up. :)
