Should تُقَاةً not be mufool-e-mutlaq?

Yes, it is mafʿūl muṭlaq (مفعول مطلق) .

Could you please explain how تُقَاتِ is constructed from the root و ق ي?

What I understand, after consulting Lisan al-Arab (page 4902) [You can access this Arabic dictionary from Mawrid Reader], is that it is originally from Form VIII of the root (افتعل) ifta3ala.

Form VIII ofوقى is اوتقى , becomes اتّقى by the assimilation (idghaam) of the waw into the ta for ease of pronunciation. Then, the hamza wasl is dropped to give you تقى . And from that you get the verbal noun تقاة.
