On (2) I had brought waterproof snowboard pants, but I found them to be too warm so I stuck them in my backpack. I did have a non-cotton wicking underlayer under them. The snowboard pants were to baggy to wear on their own, so I used just the jeans. Really, I need some tighter waterproof regular pants.
On (3) I got the Ice Trekkers instead of the spikes because I was told that the spikes get worn down rapidly on a rock trail, and the trail was mixed rock/concrete/snow. I was concerned that I'd get annoyed taking them on and off every few feet. Really I think I need to bring both, and swap to the spikes when it gets really icy. :-)
I'm glad you have concern for my well-being though. :-)
