Hello, I am working on replacing my old google tv box with android tv, but I need a device that allows for HDMI passthrough for the cable box, so are there any android tv boxes that support HDMI passthrough?

Unless you buy a TV that uses Android TV as its OS, then it's not possible. No Android TV standalone box will have HDMI passthrough.
You might be able to tack on an HDHomeRun device to stream cable channels to an Android TV device.
Xbox one has HDMI passthrough but that's obviously not an Android TV box.
Android TV won't manage your cable box like the Asus Cube could. There is a HDHomeRun box that can broadcast your cable box through you home network, but that is a backdoor way of dealing with it. What you gain with Android TV out-weighs the loss though. I really did like my cube, shame Google just let Google TV die without even giving it a chance.
No. Android TV doesn't do that. If you are low on HDMI ports you can always get an HDMI switch for cheap on amazon.
