I wonder if there's a specific hanging style on the market designed to fit these hooks. Preferably, the curtain/bline should be retractable. Thank you.

Two different types of hooks on each door. Don't know what the mounts in the first photo fit.

The hooks in the second photo are very generic, not specifically for draperies IMO. Looks very DIY...like a wooden dowel for a rod with a simple piece of fabric for a curtain, sewn so the dowel could be slipped through a hem along the top. The dowel rested on the hooks. They may have only put it on the door during a specific time of year and left it. It's also possible they had a shade made to fit the window and it had 2 rings incorporated in the top of the blind. They hung the whole blind assembly from those hooks. It is also possible the hooks weren't intended to hold any sort of shade or curtain...maybe a wreath or some other decorative accent?

Photo 1 look to be standard curtain rod brackets. Number 2 could have been simply a piece of fabric with a ring sewn in each corner. I suggest starting from scratch and get what you want.

It's difficult to see photo 1. It could be something like this one

or could be like this one

#2, as noted above, looks like a standard hook one can purchase anywhere.

Not sure why you're looking for the specific rod type. Most curtain rods come with the appropriate hooks. Get what you want and change the hooks. You might search for cafe curtain rods or flat cafe rods.

Is the following door panel only style that fits the hooks in photo 1? Any other choice? Thank you.

They look like hooks for a very thin rod that would usually be used to hold lightweight curtains/drapes ... probably sheers. But you don't have to limit yourself to what's already up there. Those hooks can be easily removed. Miniblinds would be a good option so you can control privacy and light. A roller shade that goes down towards the floor would be awkward to use although you could find shades that have a continuous rope-like adjuster on the side.

I have a strong preference for sheer panels and that's probably what I would do for window coverings on these doors.

Your first photo looks like it would need a rod similar to this one as long as you measure and choose the appropriate size:

Pretty much what you posted as the style to work on that type of rod is what is standard. They don't have to be sheer. But you could also just change out the hardware for something else.
