In order to properly fit you for a tuxedo vest, you would need to get measured by a tailor. Specifically, you would need to measure your chest, midsection, and potentially your shoulders.

A tuxedo IS the jacket. If you wear tails, wear a vest underneath, a real tie or cravat ,and cufflinks with French-cuffed shirts.
Not a vest, but a cummerbund.
Yes.
Yes, you should wear braces (suspenders) anytime you are wearing a tuxedo, weather you're wearing a cummerbund, vest or going with the exposed waist look. You do not wear a belt with a tuxedo, and this is the only way to keep your trousers at your waistline.
Most tuxedo vest will average in price from 20 to 100 dollars. Depending on brand and quality, tuxedo vest can be purchased for a reasonable price. Tuxedo shops will also have vests that you can rent for one time events to save money not having to buy.
That is the only way to wear a tuxedo properly! The suspenders (braces) are buttoned in an they help the pants (trousers) hang correctly. The cummerbund should be worn semi-tight and with pleats up. It is put on after the braces are in place and it covers the waistband. If you choose to wear a vest, you should also wear braces even though they will be hidden.
A standard black tuxedo is probably best, but a vest may be worn that may match the dress or the accent flower should be purple so that the two of you will match.
Absolutely!!! Most tuxedo rental stores will not allow the rental of individual components that make up a tuxedo, i.e., shirt, tie, vest, etc. They see it as not worth their time or effort and choose not to "fool" with such things. Mens Wearhouse does not see it this way. Apparently, it's all in how you look at it - is the glass half empty or is it half full? My son needed just a vest and tie as he was able to wear my tux and they treated him as though he were renting full tuxedo outfits for a wedding. The service was great, the items were top notch and was very inexpensive.
Tuxedo vests and ties are mostly reserved for formal evening affairs. An evening wedding, a formal New Year's Eve Dinner, an awards ceremony, all are appropriate.
Only if he wants to. USually, the father does wear a tuxedo.
