2. Your hides are fine. Professional or not, store bought or not they all work. Cardboard a little easier but looks worse to our eyes. Pro tip: Get hides that have a missing side, bottom or removable side/top/bottom. Snakes are notorious for choosing the hide that they can be in and you can't get to them.

3. I always found when adding new decor to an enclosure that a snake may not use it right away, probably due to lack of familiar scent or something then after a few days it would use them.

4. I would recommend ensuring the snake eats a few times before continuing with the long handling sessions. You've got a years to handle the snake so let's ensure it's healthy and acclimated well at the start.

5. Enjoy your pet.

Seems to have a lot of yellow for a 2015 anery, if I'm not mistaken the yellow usually comes through when they get older. Could be one of the variations of anery.

Could have more to it. I have no clue except corn snakes are FULL of morphs hidden.

Lol, there are SOOO many morphs and the species is so popular it's hard to be sure what one actually has anymore in terms of potential hidden genetics both het and co-dominant and stuff like that.
