1) I don't know. This is one of the things that made me not like this episode quite so much, as it seemed very fanficcy. I could buy Kara having a going-out-outfit, but a formal gown? That stretches the bounds of credibility. I suppose she could have borrowed it off a crewmate, but, again- I doubt it. The Galactica is essentially a Navy aircraft carrier, and I really doubt that girls on American Navy aircraft carriers haul evening gowns around with them. A clubbing outfit, maybe. But not this thing.
2) I think she wore it because Lee told her she needed to wash her jacket, (which, btw, I thought was AWESOME.) thereby implying that he sees her as significantly less than feminine. So she set out to prove to him that she could out-hot the Joneses. Of course, I don't think that changed Lee's mind. He already thinks she's hot, no matter what she's wearing. Only, of course, because Kara's fucked up, she doesn't realize that.
3) Hmm! Could be! She has hitherto not seemed conflicted about such things, but it's certainly possible.
4) I believe that in the US military, this is sort of how it is, though. At official functions, men wear their dress uniforms, and women can usually choose between an ugly "gala uniform" or a formal gown. But overall, again, FANFIC CENTRAL.
5) I'm intrigued by the clothing depot redistribution service. Hmmm.
