I think you should be safe. Top 13 will qualify (Oceania and Africa reallocated). Also, assuming that Ukraine, Japan and Spain will qualify a team here.

These are qualifiers after technical routine: FRA, GRE, MEX, AUT, USA, KAZ, SUI, CZE, COL, ISR, ARG, SVK, GBR

I am trying to follow the event, but there's little to no information available in Brazil. This is a shame.

What countries are taking part in the team competition?

You're leaving Italy out of the qualification spots

Yes, but they should get European continental quota while Asian would go to North Korea,

Thanks. No participation from the host nation? We had a rough time at the PanAms, so I guess the experience from the Test Event would have come in handy for the Brazilian team before the Olympics.

I understand the FINA at the point of which is a pre-Olympic competition and we already have quotas.

But would be good see Brazil competing in the Aquatic Center Maria Lenk, although the girls are already quite familiar with the pool because they trained there last years.

Can anyone confirm about the qualification of duets.

If I am reading this correctly we will have our 20 duets known after the first free routine and then the eight which missed a spot will compete in a second free routine in order to get the final 4 spots. That's how it is worded in the FINA bulletin for this event, but the qualification page doesn't speak to this two tier qualification.
