Does something like Quirk exist for topological (eg. braided) circuits?

Alternatively, any ideas on how @CraigGidney is getting these circuits (or something similar)?

There is QTop which is an open-source project that can simulate but also visualize topological quantum codes.

Those figures were created manually with sketchup, which is a 3d modelling tool. There was no simulation involved, only careful application of known rules.
