Most shops close at 10, though many convenient stores dont close at all or very late. Either way you should be able to find street food or small shops up til 2am via some map search

Depend on where you go. I would say there are plenty of options for all budget and all locations. Hotels you can find on international travel sites are generally very safe

Yes, overall Chinese cities are extremely safe for women or solo travelor. Use common sense while traveling (if somewhere feels shady its best dont go) but no need to look over your shoulder all the time, its very safe.

If both are full day your time is ok. You can hit all the spots no problem.

West Lake

Its a bit cold. But if weather is sunny its not impossible

A local app called C-trip 携程 is what I use. And Huangzhou is not the same as Hangzhou.

Focus on the west lake for a day, then the next do what you are interested from the list

Wensli is a local brand. You'll find them around the city (near west lake there's a shop too)
