He doesn't refer to Juliet as Venus at all. What he does say is:

"Immoderately she weeps for Tybalt's death,

And therefore have I little talk'd of love;

For Venus smiles not in a house of tears."

He means Venus would not smile ON HIM in a house of tears; in other words, the goddess of love would not favor his pursuit of Juliet right at the moment.

He means that he knew he could not properly court Juliet, and win her heart as her father had instructed him to do, because she was too grief-stricken (supposedly over Tybalt's death), and wouldn't have appreciated hearing this guy she barely knew talking about love and marriage.

Paris is in Juliet's room because he is there to mourn her death. He is unaware that Juliet is actually alive due to the potion she took to fake her death and is planning on running away with Romeo.

The only time he is in her room is after she has been found apparently dead. He has just arrived at the Capulet house to marry Juliet, and is invited to her room to see why he can't do so.

Because Lady Capulet just did. The Nurse's comment follows Lady Capulet's line "Verona's summer hath not such a flower." She means he's the best-looking man going.
