They do a new nikah, and remarry.

I would advise that they address their previous issues, so as to not repeat them again.

Men and women, mahram or non-mahram, must always observe boundaries between each other. With mahram, the boundaries are less, but there still are boundaries. 

Most of what you have mentioned in your question is crossing the boundary, or should be avoided, so as to not all into haram. 

We cannot say he might have incestuous tendency, but it is not normal behaviour for a son to sleep right beside his mother and spend nights in her room, etc. He might have more feminine tendency, hence these activities, but it is also his mother to be responsible for this as well. 

I would advise someone have a talk with both of them, about boundaries, and the possible shaytani influence that could corrupt anyone.

This topic has been addressed here a few times. What we can clearly say is that it is definitely culturally unacceptable for Muslim men to do this, and this would be enough for a male to refrain from having earrings.

Although a believer must never put himself in a position where they are criticised, and the criticism could be valid, there are things one cannot avoid. 

If you have tried to explain that throwing away good food is rejecting the bounties of Allah (kufr al-ni'mah), and there is nothing bad about eating something from the day before, then you have done your duty. 

There are people who just do not like eating leftover food, even if it is good. That is their preference, and you can do nothing about it. Of course, if they are "wasting", then this would be haram.

Many find it very normal to eat the same food for a few days, and there is nothing wrong with that, and it does not have anything to do with being kind or stingy.

What you prioritise is your choice, cooking daily, or eating from yesterday's food, both are personal choices and depends of each individuals choice and circumstances. The point is that if someone chooses to eat leftover food, it has nothing to do with being stingy.

And Allah knows best.

Such a thing is cheating and lying. It is unlawful, illegal and very unethical.

No, they are not considered 'haram to use', but najis, and therefore should not be used, especially when your hair is wet.

This is definitely inappropriate, and something should have been done from the very first time.You are right, it is unacceptable, and very wrong. Your husband must stop him, and if he does not, then you must stop him, or involve your family or elders to stop this, or move out with your husband to a place where you have your privacy.

From a shar'i perspective, only penetration and ejaculation would invalidate a fast,  but if they know that even less than this will lead to ejaculation, they must be avoided as well.

In general, while fasting, each side should stay away from these things, and focus on preserving the high quality of their fast, which one aspect of it is supressing lust.

It is mustahab to conduct nikah publicly, with witnesses attending. Marriage should not be concealed and secret. If, for some reason, you want to do this, you must make sure you meet all the requirements, especially in that the bride needs consent from her father, if she has never been married.

If you both meet the conditions, you can do a temporary contract, to avoid haram, and keep that secret, and then have a public Nikah. Of course, if you do that, prior to the public nikah, you must nullify the temporary contract.

Yes, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. You cannot force yourself onto someone, especially if it seems they are not interested. Your dua to Allah ta'ala should be in asking Him to do what is best for you, and for you to evaluate the situation using reason and common sense.
