A: When I go to restaurants, the waiters frequently ask me, "Would you like any appetizers to start with?" (This means like "Before you order a full meal, do you want any snacks/appetizers?")

At restaurants, I sometimes tell this joke to my friends: "I can only afford the appetizers." (This is because appetizers are very cheap since they come in small quantities).

A: I can see why articles can sometimes be kind of tricky to figure out for English learners.

I think, in this case, the indefinite article, 'an', is used before 'appetizer' because it's considered an "extra" to the meal, it isn't a staple or "definite" such as the main course. Some people may choose not to have an appetizer. I don't think 'the appetizer' is necessarily wrong, but it doesn't sound as natural. Because the main course is, well, the main part of the meal, the focus of attention, it makes sense to use the definite article, 'the' (the main event, the main attraction, etc.). 'For a dessert' works too, but it's more common to just say 'for dessert' without an article, like we say 'for breakfast', 'for lunch', and 'for dinner.' I think it's because it can be considered separate from a meal.

A context in which 'for the appetizer' or 'for the dessert' would make a lot of sense is if you went to a restaurant where you HAD to order an appetizer and dessert, as they would be considered staples, or main elements of the meal/course (however, I would still stick to 'for dessert').

A: Yes. Complimentary is correct. They are free ONLY if you buy something.

A: It means that the speaker does not want an appetizer (what person A is offering) and is perhaps asking others if they would like to order bread instead. The speaker could also be asking person A if ordering just bread instead of the appetizer would be okay.

A: sounds good, but waiters/waitresses usually say "would you like an appetizer" before they ask what appetizer they want. (in America at least)
