We have write_file method that allows custom data to be stored. Is there corresponding method exists to get that data?
Specifically I'm looking for a way to save/load player's inventory to transfer it from one map to another. Probably, there is another way to do so?

No you can't read files. I think the reasoning is for Multiplayer desyncs.
You could try to do something like blueprint string though.

Well, this can be easily avoided by making file saving-loading have player as argument.
I'm new here, is it reasonable to write 'bout this issue in interface request section?

Yes. Maybe at some point they will realize that a file API is really essential.

You can try, but it's been suggested and shot down before IIRC
