There is no shar'i requirement for a Seyid/Seyidah to marry a Seyidah/Seyid. This is a personal preference and a cultural practice. It is also something that has taken a lot of negative direction to it as well, because some good suitors are being rejected because they are "non-seyids". 

Many of our esteemed Maraji' and great scholars who were Seyids have married their daughters off to non-Seyids, and that itself is enough for us to break this wrong practice that some families insist on observing.

Of course, Almighty God forgives all sins, when we turn to Him, and repent and seek forgiveness. The door of tawbah is always open, but we need to always be careful that we do not be deceived by shaytan, or turn sin into an ongoing habit, where we casually engage in haram.

Repentance is important, but it is also a blessing from God, as He knows our level of sincerity and remorse, and how we wish to change our ways, improve ourselves and avoid sin.

Strengthening our faith and will-power will make us strong enough not to return to haram as well.

And Allah knows best

No, there is no issue at all with doing nikah contract outdoors, or in morning. 

The only time it is makruh is when the moon being in the zodiacal sign of Scorpio (qamar fi al-'aqrab), and when the moon is absent (end of lunar month/beginning of lunar month), which is called al-mihaq

For Ahlul Bayt (a.s.), it would definitely be mustahab and highly recommended to celebrate their birthdays. 

As for our birthdays, it would be permissible, as long as it does not entail any haram act or practise.

As long as the nikah was done, and talaq has not been recited, she is still considered married. 

However, why would her parents prevent her from living with her husband. That is very wrong and must be solved immediately. Either she lives with her husband, or she gets divorced. It is unfair for her to be in this situation.

Yes, you can do that, as long as she is ok with you being away from her, and try your best to either bring her to where you live, or finish your trip and return back to live together. 

Husband and wife in general should be living together regularly. 

As for seeing each other, etc, that is also permissible, but you correctly said "without masturbation".

As she is still a virgin, from a shar'i side, she would still need father's consent, unless she is completely socially and financially independent and free to make her own choices. 

Of course, whatever the case may be, morally, it is still very important to have family involved and seek the blessings of elders and approval when it comes to marriage.
