I... well, frankly, I just punt on the issue. It helps that I only have one IC LS right now. I've seen a number of plausible and creative approaches to this in game, ranging jewelry and other accessories that hold multiple linkpearls to quasi-magical "headsets" that connect to multiple linkpearls.

Like any good sci-fi show, Eorzea has a dearth of bathrooms. Sans lore, I personally lean towards the city-states possibly having indoor plumbing, but smaller outposts lacking it. However, I largely evade the issue in RP; while my character might drink a cup of tea, I don't give much thought to from where the water for it came.

This, I do consider. It depends on the means of travel. If L'yhta teleports (which is something I consider IC), then naturally, it's instantaneous, but of course there's a cost that must be paid. I play that up as paying a fee for Aetheryte maintenance and security. Otherwise, it takes time to make a trip, depending on whether it's by Chocobo or foot.

You can make it, but unless you're a Garlean (with access to magitek), you better have a wood-burning stove or a Thaumaturge. The aesthetic of Eorzea seems to lean towards gas and oil lanterns, or magic, as light sources. I don't see any evidence that they have access to electricity other than as an damaging force.
