Based on what I can answer, my comments are below:

safe to bring your own.. or just bring old socks.. and change after the screening.
If I pack my electric curling iron in my carry-on do I need to take it out? Or will they think it's a weapon?
leave then in the bag... if they have any confusion.. they'll do a bag check.
Besides my little 17" wheeled carry-on, can I bring a small tote bag type purse (think a Coach knockoff), or does the extra personal item have to be a small purse?
Yes
What do you guys do with disposable cameras? Is it better to buy one at the destination and then ask them to hand screen it on the trip back?
if the speed is under 400, I think you should be fine with the x-ray. let it through.
Sorry for the silly questions. I appreciate any and all insight. And please try not to laugh at me at the airport when I walk aimlessly around looking like a "deer in headlights" or when I can't figure out how to open the lav.
Thanks!
don't worry.. many seasoned travelers feel lost in the jungle of meaningless
security rules.
