I've been doing my best to collect and learn as much Keeper lore as I can since I started in 1.0. However, the fact remains that there isn't much detailed information on them. It's mostly just general statements that the naming convention lore from SE states, or comments that a small few NPCs make in-game for certain quests.
-- There are no examples of Keeper tribes we can go find and visit in-game. So its very hard to see if there are any traditional outfits they would wear. The closest we get is a band of poachers who all seem to dress alike. We know this band of poachers is not a good reference though, because they have a male leader.
-- If you travel across all of Eorzea in game and look at each NPC, you will find very very very few Keeper NPCs outside of the Black Shroud. However, there are quite a few Keeper NPCs in and around Gridania. The absolute best place to get more in-game lore for this kind of question is the Archer guild questline. The main NPC is a tribal Keeper girl who is adjusting to life in the city. From what I understand, most Gridanians generally consider all Miqo'te Keeper tribes that live out in the Twelveswood to be the same thing as poachers.
-- The lore from SE states that Keepers keep their tribes small with only 2 or 3 families living together. We don't have much more information than that, and there aren't any Keeper tribes to visit, like I said.
-- As for where they live in the Shroud... I would like to know this myself. Since we can't go see any tribes, we can't know where for sure. For my Keeper girl, I have always had her tribe existing deep in the Eastern Shroud, far from Gridania.
-- We have no definite answer for this either, but I'd like to think there's still a mutual respect and both the males and females understand their roles in the tribe and why those roles are in place. We do know that the males tend to wander between tribes to make sure there are enough males around to keep the tribes going through the next generation.
-- This is something I love to RP, but rarely see others RPing. It's clearly stated in the game that Wildwood Elezen and Keeper Miqo'te have a rocky history with each other. They have a long time rivalry with their differing forms of archery (Elezen longbows vs. Miqo'te short bows) and this can be seen in the archer's guild storyline very clearly. As for outsiders of other races... it's not stated anywhere that I know of. But I can tell you that my Keeper girl sees the Seeker culture as a gross mockery of her own Keeper traditions, and can't stand the way they do things. But that isn't official SE lore.
-- I don't have links or screenshots unfortunately, but I can tell you that the places with the most Keeper lore in game are Archer's Guild quest line, and some kind of Moogle mail quest I keep hearing about but haven't found myself yet that talks briefly about male Keepers. I know there are others who can post the screenshots with the NPC conversations.
