what is meant by "post office queueing" in this context?

The Royal Mail has undertaken a redesign of its branches. Instead of
queuing in a line, you take a number from a machine for the type of
service that you require and approach a counter when your number is
called.

At least I think that's what it means.

No.; one queue feeding multiple windows/tills/etc.

Does the ticket based model have a name - I've heard it called
deli[catessen] style? It seems to be common at foreign railway station
travel centre style ticket offices.

No idea. I just use the automated postal machines when and where I can,
mainly to avoid surly staff.
