Does blackbody radiation shows such properties as interference and diffraction? If yes, how can it co-exist with quantum theory?

Yes, it does. Diffraction is used to look for absorption lines in stellar spectra, for example.

Why is this a problem?

You can't get rid of quantum fluctuations, so there's an issue there, too.

Those do not create or destroy photons. It's referred to as an adiabatic invariant; the number is not changed by slow (compared to the photon frequency) processes, like gravitation. But not absorption

I don't know what it would mean for a photon to experience duration. They don't change over time or decay so what would their "experience" consist of?
