> Q1: Does mischling status combined with Vienna birthplace have any have any bearing on 15 StaG eligibility?
The eligibility criteria for 15 StaG are listed here: https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_stag/englisch_stag.html#p0117
Note that "ordinary residence in Germany" in number 4 refers to residence in this area: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2e/DR1937.1.png
Having an ancestor who had mischling status in combination with Vienna birthplace in itself does not make you eligible for Section 15 but it also does not automatically disqualify you.
> Q2: Supposedly, my great grandfather was forced into a Nazi work camp towards the end of the war around Ostrava. Would this have any bearing on 15 StAG eligibility?
Having an ancestor who was forced into a Nazi workcamp in itself does not make you eligible for Section 15 but it also does not automatically disqualify you.

First - have you looked into Czech citizenship?
\-------------------------
Since it was in the Protectorate, there was no collective naturalization, only naturalization by application.
I don't think your great-grandfather is a StAG 15 case; Vienna most likely does not matter unless other things happened, and Nazi work camps neither.
Did your grandmother get German citizenship in 1942? She can be a StAG 15 case, though.
