In DnD 3.5, if you were to use timestop, then throw a knife, would the knife stop moving the moment it left your hand, allowing you to set up multiple throwing knife attacks if you wanted to, or would the knife just harmlessly hit the target during the stopped time for some reason?

The latter.

You could not. The game doesn't account for the time weapons spend in the air otherwise, so it wouldn't here RAW. It would just be any other attack that deals damage, which everything would be invulnerable to until time starts again. A DM might allow it though, because it's basically the least effective thing a wizard could do in a time stop anyway, and it makes a kind of sense
You could do something similar to what you're describing with the highest level diamond mind maneuver in Tome of Battle though since that just gives you 2 full actions (or maybe specifically 2 full attacks. I don't really want to look that up)

It must get very dull having to set up all those knives while everyone else is basically firing bullets machine gun style.
How do her bullets even work? Are they knife-shaped energy pellets, or are they all rubber knives to get around the no killing rule in spellcard duels?

That's boring. So it's literally only helpful if you're going to lame it up as a wizard?
That sounds neat, that might be worth looking into.

Silver Knives.
It's best not to think about it too hard.

It's just how it works, you know?
You DID pick the game with Vancian-style magic with very specific limitations on spells after all, what did you think you were going to get?

Well you either obey the rules, or Reimu gets serious and reveals her true power, which is more or less 'anti-youkai magic'.

it's probably made vastly more expedient by throwing large bundles of knives at a time, DIO-style - she's certainly drawn doing it like that from what art i've seen, anyway.
i'd make the assumption that the knives are basically energy pellets, yeah, but apparently that isn't the case, according to oh well
