Hi there, I think there was certainly a push in the social media towards using more sunscreens, but I am seeing less of those lately. The SPF 50+ might not be for everyone, especially those who reside in a place where UV index is low. However, it's necessary for where I live, and SPF 50 is a basic here.
For your questions,
1. Yes if it's moisturizing enough for you. You can use both if you need more moisturization. You want to use sunscreen when the UV index is high (more UV rays) whether it's summer or winter. As snow reflects UV rays as well, you might need sunscreen.
2. It's a well discussed topic in which both have their pros and cons. Mineral is basically less irritating for sensitive skin but it has white cast, and vice versa.
3. From my experience, you might want to stay away from anything that labelled as hydrating sunscreen. Get a light sunscreen instead. I recommend skin1004 water fit sunscreen and benton mineral sunscreen. The Benton in particular keep me grease free all day.

No, SPF has pretty much being pushed thorough out the years. Now people are appreciating the ones coming out from Europe, Asia and Australia. Newer filters that North America brands cannot do, which is so much superior imho.
Yeah if you use serums and moisturizer, you need SPF because those two does not have it.
Mineral or synthetic? Choose the one that feels the best for you skinn you want to wear it everyday.
You can try mattifying sun screen or creams but they’re really expensive. So I just end up using a brush that I use to apply face powder to absorb all the oils or use some blotting papers if my face gets oily due to the humid heat.
Yeah “sun cream” or Spf with at 30 SPF can be used without a moisturizer if it is formulated well.

1) yes you can use sunscreen inplace of moisturiser! use sunscreen in winter (during the daylight hours) too
2) i personally prefer chemical as there's usually no whitecast and tends to be more moisturising, but mineral tends to work better for sensitive skin
3) you can try sunscreens that contain alcohol!

Although this product is gifted to me, I'm loving this product lately. Philippines is a very humid place so for me I must use sunscreen daily. I'm oily skin as well and so far right now I'm not having any breakouts.
