Drink it quickly and hopefully you won't notice! Seriously, though, in 4 years of brewing I've stuffed up many times, but the only time it truly ruined my beer was when I accidentally used an un-sanitized siphon to get wort out of the boiler. You'll be amazed with what you can get away with.

I find the yeast kick off quicker around 70 and i don't have a problem getting the temp down. But it def depends on the yeast, so it is always good to read up on the yeast before brewing. Anyway, there is no right way! There are plenty of ways that work for various people. Find the way that...

Can imagine it would've smelt amazing. Will be interested to hear about the final product

I think u are right to move it. Typically you want to start fermentation at around 70 and then lower the temperature once it gets going

People love to make the simple complicated. It must make them feel better about themselves. Stick to simple

You can brew with an open ferment. No airlock/lid. If your yeast are cracking in with the job, you have nothing to worry about. Making beer is a lot easier than a lot of people make it out to be. Relax and enjoy the experience

Looks complicated with so many additions. Could probably go for some 60 minute hops to to reduce the total amount of hops used. I don't really see the point in having six hop additions from 25 min. Late hops are great, but they have worked best for me at the 5 - 0 minute range. YMMV
