(1) Why in the cool mornings do the males walk around with shirts on and nothing else?

I'm not so sure about this one, I haven't had the same experience as you.
Many European naturist resorts have a custom of dressing for dinner or require clothing in indoor restaurants. I've never seen sexy clothing or "nightwear" worn at these places.

This clothing requirement might be due to being easier to recruit staff?; hygiene: incorrect fear of pubes dropping in buffet, correct fear of edge of towel touching buffet food or knocking something over. Evenings? - it's usually getting cooler by then anyway.

Naked by day, sexy clothing at night is (I am told) associated with places which tolerate swinging rather than pure naturist eg parts of Cap d'Agade.

No experience with the second but it has been my experience that it is my torso and arms that gets cold but my legs, etc. don't as much.

My own experience with nudism is that most women have their hair styled much more naturally. Obviously, styles have changed over the years, but most of the time the overall looks is "low maintenance". Hair in a ponytail, or with a hat, baseball cap, etc. But definitely not straight out of the salon.
