1: Yes, at least as far as secondary characters appear. I figured it had something to do with the locations in the present (construction and factories) and the bullies' presence in the flashbacks.

2: Cloudsdale is the Industrial city, Canterlot is the capital (a mix of classic architecture and historical locations and more modern additions), Ponyville is the inhabited Midwest, southern Canada, or rural England, Appleoosa is the colonial West-to-Midwest (mostly Southwest), Manehattan is Chicago (Just kidding! Of course it's Manhattan, but it's that sort of huge city).

3: Most of them are construction workers, some of them are stunt fliers or athletes or whatever. Beyond that, they could wear headgear in case of distracted ponies not activated the "don't fall through clouds" attribute when they set an item down, for reasons of fashion no different than landbound ponies, or because Derpy is in town ;p
