Alternating picking fingers is generally fine but there are times that you have to repeat notes on the same string (sometimes several times in a row and at a pretty good speed) with the same finger on the picking hand.

I concur. Alternating is generally and often the rule to follow, but not always the best solution depending on the passage. Best to keep that in mind when working through a piece.

But for me, as a previous fingerstyle player and serial finger repeater, alternating is something that has been quite a struggle and if I had not aimed at never repeating then I would have no doubt slipped back into bad habits :-)

Re. tone: a thin tone is the result of not moving the finger from the MCP joint (the big knuckle) - the best way to practise this is when doing a simple exercise such as the chromatic, move the fingertip into the palm, emphasise the stroke to avoid just moving the finger from only the PIP (middle joint).
Repeating a finger, index for example, is also sometimes necessary to avoid an awkward string crossing and also when a consistent tone is required in a melody. Here's a tutorial video I made that covers most things mentioned in this thread so far, including planting. Jonny

Came across this video on youtube. In places a pretty clear example of pushing the string with the picking hand.

The Basics
TB....
Everyone's finger and fingernails are different. The first place to start on right hand technique is learning the placement of the arm and hand and then work you way down to the individual finger. You may find that the nail on one finger tends to hook downwards which can cause it to "grab / hook" the string. That's not good and the nail will need to be filed to correct the way the string is attacked /stroked. If I may suggest, Bradford Werner of "This is Classical Guitar" has some suggestions on how fingernails should be shaped to get the perfect intonation, and right arm and hand position(see links below) Please excuse any darn ads that may appear. To all you "Lefties" out there the same applies. fingernails: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zuq1iSFSGhU right hand position: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1R1y0Aahls Also you might want to check out Allen Mathews videos, He also is on YouTube. Below is one video of basic technique https://www.classicalguitarshed.com/basics/ As long as you understand playing classical guitar or any genre of guitar is a lifelong learning process you'll get by.
