Bitcoin Core Wallet - Really Anonymous? how does one remain truly anonymous on bitcoin network? Say, for example, if one use the bitcoin core as its wallet, while sending one's first transaction, will his/her IP be somehow revealed at that instance? Has anyone tried to run bitcoin core in a VPN/TOR setting or environment?

In theory, it is possible, but in practice, no. IP addresses are not in transactions or blocks in any way.

Yes. Bitcoin Core has options for using the TOR SOCKS5 proxy and has had this capability for a long time.
