Many countries restrict work visas for people over 30. Is Germany one of them?

No, there's no age cutoff for Germany. The Blue Card (4 year work visa) requires either earning more than the national average for non-technical roles (currently more than €72k per year pre-tax) and for technical roles more than €33k. There is no requirement to show that the company was unable to find an EU Citizen, if the salary numbers are met.

Germany has a job seeker visa through which you can come and search for job in Germany. I think you need atleast 5 years of experience to get that. There are other ways to come as well( like having a job offer). I mentioned this in particular to indicate there is no age cutoff, since by the time you have 5 years of experience you are in your late twenties.

Not if you're a programmer or in what is called a "Mangelberuf" (a job that the country needs and makes lax visa regulations for).
