1. I dunno anything about the 96/97 being higher quality, but I do know those little horizontal plastic parts break really easily for the center vents
2. It's just a removable blank... pop out your switch, pop out the blank on the new one, pop in your switch. Or now that I see you have a Mystique... I dunno there.
3. I dunno, maybe a wire is disconnected that runs wherever it gets it's "door open" signal from
4. Are you talking about the halo around the key cylinder (outside), or the interior door handle? If the interior, you can replace it, but I coudln't find a green one (just white and blue). You can throw in some LEDs if you would prefer, but then you need a drill to modify the housing.
If the exterior, I dunno... probly need the light off another 95 if it's not replaceable (96+ don't have em)
