1. Best way for you with ba points is JFK-MAD-CAS with Iberia which is oneworld
2. Start in Casablanca and see Agadir,Marrakech,Fez,Rabat,Tangiers
3.Plenty glatt kosher food in Casablanca
4.Plan to get to Tangiers on Thursday or Friday and you can take a boat to Tarifa from there whic is one hour from Gibraltar.
5. No idea I guess you'll have to find a different guide for each place.
6. Don't be afraid but don't make it too obvious to them

Pretty hard not to make chasidic dress in Morocco obvious ;)
Maybe a tour guide will make you feel more comfortable?
