no, its sealed. if its airtight like its supposed to be, it won't hurt bottled beer.
I guarantee budweiser does not air condition or dehumifiy its warehouses of kegs, bottles and cans.

Yep. Most ale yeasts will need to be kept around 67-68 F room temperature. Generally you want to keep ale yeasts under 71F internal temp.
The yeast causes the fermenting wort to raise slightly in temperature, so in a 67F room, the internal beer temp will be 69-71.
Humidity shouldn't affect it though - after all, assuming a plastic bucket, it should decrease the rate at which your beer (very slowly) evaporates.
