  1. [300.6(A)]. With a corrosion resistant coating inside and outside.
     

  2. Condensation.
     

  3. [300.7(A)]. Use an approved sealing method to prevent the circulation of the warm air to a colder section.
     

  4. [300.7(B)]. Yes. Use expansion fittings where necessary.
     

  5. [300.8]. Yes. Don't run anything but your electrical system in those. While the speaker wire is probably not going to hurt (although does add to raceway fill), it's not part of your electrical system. Where things really become unsafe is where installers run steam, water, gas, or other kinds of service in electrical raceway. If you see such an installation, immediately bring it to the attention of the responsible parties. If they won't act responsibly enough to correct this, then don't work in that area. Notify the AHJ so that corrective measures can be enforced before people start dying.
