I will only address a couple of these questions, and leave the rest for someone else...

I recommend using a lanyard to tether the camera to your wrist or BC. That way is an event does come up, you can simply drop the camera and use both hands to handle the issue. It is easy to get distracted by the camera... Be conscious of your air, buddy, and position in the water. Setting the camera settings before ever getting on the boat really helps.

Rinse the housing really well after use. Do not allow water spots to dry on it, especially the lenses. Exercising the buttons in FW is recommended after the dive. Use warm FW is possible.
Hope this helps...
