Muslim women must observe correct hijab, which includes wearing socks, and not showing adornments (zeenah) to non-mahrams. The anklet would be covered with socks, and as for the nose piercing, if it is considered as zeenah, then it would be haram for her to wear it. 

If the anklet, or piercing, or any zeenah is considered as exposing in the haram way, although it is a sin, but it will not affect the validity of the wudhu.

Some doctors advise to go to the toilet before performing Wudhu so that the gas is out of your stomach during your prayers. If the wind is continuous with out stopping,b then you just need to perform one Wudhu and pray even if wind come out. If the wind stops for few minutes, then you need to perform your Wudhu and Prayers during that period before your Wudhu is broken.

Socks . Masah . Sunni-Shi'a . Wudu (Ablution)
Why is it that Sunnis can wipe their feet with socks on while the Shia are not allowed to do so? Where is it evidenced that Wudhu is not valid with socks on?

Shia Muslims follow the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) which was taken from the most reliable narrators who are Ahlul Bayt (AS). Non Shia Muslims follow weak narrations fabricated by their rulers who did not care for the real Sunnah but paid money to narrators to fabricate whatever the rulers wanted. Wiping over the socks is against Quran which orders to wipe over the feet not the socks. Sura 5, verse 6.
