Existing under sink 4-plex receptical (not sure its on one or two circuits,

On a kitchen remodel what electrical outlet need to be dedicated?

Garbadge disposer?
Dish washer?
Trash compactor?
Hot water dispenser?
Refrigerator?


None of the above.

The existing above counter receptacles is on one GFI circuit, does the new
NEC code require it be on two dedicated circuits?


Yes.

In removing the electrical double oven, I found the ground and neutral from
the oven were connected together to the feeder neutral.


That's a Code violation. They're required to be separate.

The existing feeder
is 3 black wires (2 hot, 1 neutral) plus a bare ground.


That's a Code violation, too... the neutral wire is supposed to be white or
gray.

Does it seem odd
that the ground wire from this service was cut back at the junction box and
both appliance ground and neutral were tied to feeder neutral? The main
circuit breaker panel is grounded so there is no reason not the use the
feeder ground, right?


Correct on all counts.
