Can you use the Grappler feat as a bear for instance? Does Alert add to your Wolf-form's perception? Does Sentinel work?

Yes, yes, and yes.

There's a few feats that Moon Druids can really take advantage of, and compared to other classes they don't need their ASI's quite as much. Sentinel in particular is quite strong.

all feats, though not having hands makes many useless.

All feat can be usefull to a wild druid Except:

 

Feat require you to use weapon like crossbow expert, great weapon expert, shield mastery. since you do not use weapon in your wild shape (except if you become an ape, but this is a different discussion

Feat require and allowing you to use armor like heavy armor mastery, medium armor mastery etc... (even if you gain heavy armor proficiency a druid WILL NOT wear metal armor, and all armor merge with your form or fall to teh ground (once against if you become a medium size ape might be an exception.

 

Then some feat might be usefull depending on how you play and what you take

Feat allowing you to use spell like magic initiate, before level 17 or 18 (cannto remember exactly) you cannot cast spell in animal form. But if you take a concentration spell (like hex) then you can still benefit from it

 

 

Feat that require melee weapon attack like Savage attack does work in animal form since natural weapon are consider as melee weapon. I would argu that dual weilding would give you the +1AC since you do wield a weapon in both hand (natural weapon on both paw) but you still cannot benefit from non light weapon, since unless your an ape, you cannot use weapon other then your natural weapon.

 

Feat giving you special abilities like Sentinel, mage slayer can be very usefull

Feat giving you defensive bonus like Resilience are very powerfull as well, specifically resilience Constitution since you might not benefit from the +1Con, but the proficiency in Constitution will help you keep the concentration on your spell while in animal form.

"Tough" feat for a nice TRIPLE dip of HP :-)

Tough only affects your HPs - not the animals. Wildshaping allows you to retain all class features/abilities in wildshape. Tough is not an ability or class feature that you can use. It just is (kind of like proficiencies).
