1. No, their armor is mist. Yes, you're not wearing armor.

Until you take your standard action to activate the Mistmail, your wisdom bonus is not active, nor is your flurry feature.

Only if your armor is not yet mist. Once you activate it, the AC bonus goes away. As this point, go mage armor yourself.

When it's misting, there are no dex restrictions.

Not when it's a mist.

When the armor is a mist, it does not encumber your body; this means there would be no ACP to hit for non-proficiency.

Not while it's a mist.

It's a standard to activate the mist, and not all places have calm air. Remember you cannot have another suit of armor on. Also, at higher levels, unless you invested boatloads into your AC, a 25% (20% for armor, 5% for nat 1) mis-chance is better than the miss-chance on most characters ACs.
