You have to pay their daily wages (for being in active party), and if they are not in the party for some reason: you still have to pay the wages under the name of debt. There's no more payments once they are stored after the debt payment or lost to the world.

You can clear it by following the main quest, and the costume is just a temporary one used a few times during said quest. If you want to wear the costume outside of the mission you can do so by accessing the costumes variable using something like Mtool by going to variables and changing the costume value from 0 to the following:
1: Maid Outfit
2, 6, 7: Lewd variations of main outfit
3, 4, and 5: Tavern Outfits
8: Pink dress
9: Powered Outfit
10: Brothel Outfit
Likewise you may change her hairstyle as well, which function independently from the outfit. So if you like the twintails from pink dress with one of the tavern outfits, for example, you can easily mix and match.
Q1: Currently the shop is not open, but likely saved for future expansions.
Q2: Could you clarify what you mean? I know that wearing the mask over a period of time will merge with your character, making them a noble, and equiping a baton accessory will make them a conductor with unique skills.
Q3: In leftmost room there's a glowing seal, interact with a crack 'n pickaxe next to it, then check either left or right hallway (depends on the character) with a gorgon braid in your inventory.
