If it is a crucifix, or any symbol that represents another religion, then it would not be permissible to wear. If it is just a cross, and would not be seen as a crucifix, then it would be permissible.

Yes, by approaching the proper individuals in the mosque, and seeking to meet with the scholar, to have a discussion and ask your questions is the best starting point. Of course, once you explain who you are, and what you seek, I am sure they will accomodate and be helpful, in shaa Allah.

This website has abundant resources for that as well. 

With prayers for your success

You will need to seek consent from her father. 

Mut'ah is for certain circumstances that would be of benefit, and therefore plans should always be made towards Nikah marriage.

No, eyes cannot get impure.

The eyelid can, because its external, and simply putting it under water would purify it.

That would be a good alternative, if you wish to pursue the sciences of Ahlul Bayt (a.s.) and study to further your knowledge in your religion. I would encourage you to make sure you register with a recognised institute, supervised by a qualified mainstream scholar.

Looking at this example, the reason to avoid ghusl is for aesthetic reasons, so as to avoid loss of hair, due to excessive ghusls per day.

The couple can cut down on what leads to ghusl, and prioritise their 'ibadah and make sure their relationship with Almighty God is always stronger than their lust. 

Intimacy is very good, but not such that it makes one think in this kind of a way, and deliberately miss out on prayer. 

Ghusl should not take more than 2 minutes, all together, and not that much water as well. Therefore, if the couple do have a fear of hair loss, minimising the shower time is good option. It is also mentioned that cold water is good for hair. 

And Allah knows best

Hijab is an obligation, and it is obligatory for every Muslim man and woman to observe their hijab, according to the boundaries and requirements of dress code set for each gender.

It should not need to reach any form of punishment, because the Muslim should be proud and honoured to implement and practice his/her faith.
