Condensation is typical in all cars. The soot is probably just carbon build up. Nothing to worry about. Clean it off and you'll be fine.

all normal. Its not even 'abnormal' to get oily build up on the bumper, since these cars can have so much blowby, but id usually try to do what i can to keep that to a minimum (for your paints sake and for your engine)

It's also partly because you removed the cats. My car does it also.
