It is not wajib to immediately do ghusl, and is permissible to postpone, as long as it will be done before the next wajib prayer, or in the case of the month of Ramadhan, before fajr. 

However, it definitely is not a good thing to do, based on our ahadeeth. Hadiths say to do it immediately. Why would one choose to stay in the state of inner impurity? You cannot enter the mosque, recite parts of the Quran, touch the Quran. It is makruh to eat, or drink, or sleep, and all the other things that are makruh. 

Why would one deprive himself/herself of many blessings of being tahir? 

Therefore, best thing is to become accustomed to do ghusl straight away, and always try to be in state of taharah.

And Allah knows best

Therefore,

If your question is about the minimul wajib for the husband to do, under nafaqah, then no, he does not need to give her additional to what the wajib nafaqah is. 

The financial maintenance wajib upon the husband is to pay for whatever needs the wife has, according to their status.

Yes, the husband should do that, out of his good will, for her to have savings for herself, and buy things she is interested in.

If she does not want to approach her father about this, she must try to find alternative ways to inform him and get his approval, like through elders, local scholars, etc. 

We must remember that in marriage, there are many surrounding factors that make it successful. One of them is harmony and blessings from parents.

Ghusl janabah will not become wajib unless there is ejaculation, or penetration.

The amount of penetration is the glans penis, which is the tip or top portion of the penis (called ḥashafah).

If there is penetration, to that extent or more, ghusl janabah becomes wajib upon both husband and wife. 

And Allah knows best.

Although the Nikah could be valid, if the correct standards for Islamic marriage contract is observed, it is not a good sign if they "insist" on having their own 'Alim to do it.

If you choose to marry someone outside of your Madhhab, it is very important to have strong ability to manage things. You must be strong enough to have to deal with the issues that arise, regarding your Shi'i beliefs, your rituals, how the house is managed, and the future children.

There are good examples of a Shi'i marrying a Sunni, and both observe the highest level for each other's beliefs. That is how it should be. 

However, there are many bad examples and bitter experiences, which is why one must be extra cautious, and not just think about accepting their 'Alim to officiate the Nikah, but also what level of involvement, interference, influence, or intimidation they will have. 

Marrying someone from another madhhab is permissible only if one has assurance they will not be influenced, for them and the children as well.

And Allah knows best

It would not be classified as a sin, but Islam does strongly encourage having children, and therefore, one must strive as much as they can to conceive children, and multiple children as well. By natural means, or medical, as long as all shar'i requirements are observed. 

And Allah knows best.
