I'd like to ask your advice on how to set up a development environment for Inks.

For developing Inkscape? Sure, I would recommend latest ubuntu or debian testing, and using Ninja and ccache :)

Can I do it on an old 32-bit machine?

Yes, if you can run the compilers

Can I do it on a Raspberry Pi?

Yes, it's even packaged in ubuntu for arm64

Can I do it with just gcc and make?

You will need g++ and cmake, but if you're going to build all the deps recursively then you can probably build those too ^^ Though if you are going to build the deps from scratch, I would recommend you look into jhbuild

If there is someone who is willing to answer questions of this type, perhaps you would like to mentor me.

I usually work more in a "try first, ask questions when you encounter a problem and I may help you then" way
