1. No. The "steam" you see is tiny water droplets from the water vapour that condensed in the air. As vapour could come from evapouration of water. The temperature of the water is not necessarily around 100'C.
2. Yes. This is just a result of conservation of energy. If there is a difference between absorption of heat and releasing of heat, then there is a loss of energy. This would violate the energy conservation law.
3. After absorption of heat, the heat energy turns into internal energy possessed by the water. Assume there is no loss of energy to the surroundings, and there is no other ways of losing heat, the heat from the object would all be transferred to the water because of the conservation of energy law.
4. As said above, any absorbed heat is turned into internal energy possessed by an object, i.e. energy due to molecular vibrations (kinetic energy) and potential energy. When an object releases heat, the heat energy comes from the internal energy of the object.
5. Water has a relatively high specific heat capacity. That is to say, any change (either increase or decrease) of temperature of water involves large amount of heat. The ocean has tremendous mass of water, thus the ocean is able to maintain a relatively constant temperature, with only small variation of temperature throughout the year.
In that sense, islands in oceans have small temperature change between winter and summer (e.g. Hawaii, or the Philippines), whereas the inland or coastal regions (like Hong Kong) have marked temperature changes between the two seasons.
