If you ever head downtown, a few recommendations.
-Hotel Del Coronado, http://www.hoteldel.com/ Don't stay there, just walk around and get a drink on the beach.
-Anything in the Gas-lamp Quarter
-Balboa Park
-Breakfast
-Old Town isn't bad, but has shrunk in recent years
-Seaport village isn't too bad if you are into tourist stuff, but other wise not that great
-There is more touristy stuff out there, but I'd suggest just looking into whatever it is you are interested in as tourist attractions can have a lot in common with one another, and I'd think you'd be trying to find something new.
For the actual questions;
2. Keep both cash and credit on you. Many of the cheaper places still only take cash, and sometimes the quality of the cheap places turn out really nice.
5. Lived in the area coming on 14 years now, and still exploring the possibilities. Just go with the flow and 7 times out of 10 you'll do good. Avoid massive food chains.
