Direct sunlight would heat the thermometer higher than the actual air temperature. A reading would be more accurate if taken in the shade, where the temperature reading would not be greatly different.
If your temperature is taken orally, the temperature of your drink can change the reading on the thermometer. If your temperature is taken rectally or in the axilla, then it wouldn't matter how long it as been since you drank something.
auxillary temperature
Only take an infant's temperature rectally if a doctor or trusted care provider instructs it. Otherwise, the most accurate reading comes from under a baby's armpit.

No, in a human, when the temperature is taken under the arm it should not be above 36.5 - 36.7. When the temperature is taken under the tongue, it should not be above 37.0-37.1 degrees.
No
Apply the Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion in revers: Multiply Celsius temperature with 9 and divide it by five. Then, add 32 = Fahrenheit temperature.
The mercury will expand and rise up the thermometer tube until it reaches the temperature of the air around it. When it stops expanding, it is the same temperature as the air, and therefore gives an accurate reading.
