* If it were a black tie wedding then it would be announced in the wedding invitation. Since you haven't done this leave it up to the individual guests as most of the men will wear different colored ties; some with sports jackets and slacks; suits or perhaps just slacks and a shirt with a tie. If you are having a very casual wedding then you could mention 'casual dress.' However, the first suggestion given is generally the best.
Hell yeah
No, it is not advisable for a woman to wear a tuxedo to a black tie wedding because tuxedos are meant to be worn by men. She could wear a simple black cocktail dress and if she likes instead of jewelry she could wear a black bow tie around her neck.

It's a penguin suit affair. Tuxedos. Penguin suits!
Absolutely, as long as the event is not a wedding.When an invitation reads "black tie" it means the event is formal. A lady may wear any color she chooses to such events. The exception to this rule is a wedding. Many people consider it inappropriate for a lady other than the bride to wear white. You don't want to compete with the bride!
Tuxedos are traditional formal attire for men. I would think that for a graduation you would wear a nice suit. If you are a guest at a wedding, you should ask the bride what to wear, a suit or tux. If the invitation says "black tie" that means a tuxedo.

You could ask why, but if the guest wears a 3-piece suit with a tie, it shouldn't be a problem.
There is no traditional use of tie-dye in wedding ceremonies or parties, but that doesn't mean that you can't add it into yours. If tie-dye is important to you, you can add it into your wedding in many different ways. You can have people wear tie-dye, you can have tie-dye decorations, or you can even have a tie-dye station. Just because it isn't traditional, doesn't mean it's not a good idea.
'Black tie' means that you have to wear a tux (US) or a dinner jacket (UK). Any color is fine, but black is recommended for gentlemen. If you were to wear a white jacket, then black pants are appropriate. Shoes should be pumps or patent leather oxfords (closed laces).
