3) This part will be more speculative because for all that we hear that Jay was having a hard time in Korea, we rarely hear anything about Khun. I think it did help that he's been abroad before so maybe it wasn't as jarring for him to get used to the lifestyle. I see him as a very adaptable guy. The trainer mentioned that while Jay didn't like many Korean foods, Khun had no problem getting used to them (although in an interview Khun said that he didn't like the thought of eating dog). But despite this, I do think Khun did (and probably still does) have a hard time in Korea. He's used to being independent, but suddenly he has to rely on everyone else and Taec for translating. There was that part in Wild Bunny when they found out that dried mangos were sold in Korea too, and Khun pointed to Taec and said, "We don't need you anymore!!" (Of course I think he's always grateful and eager to receive any help, but I think he also likes to have confidence in his own abilities. He doesn't shy away from criticism and is fully aware that he's not the best singer or dancer.) It's hard to tell how hard he's been hit by Jay leaving, but I think he's probably gotten lonelier. Jay and Khun were in the same "foreigner" boat, and now Khun doesn't have anyone to share that experience with. There's been a rumour floating around that Khun is mistreated in JYPE despite being the one who brings in the cash, and I'm not sure if I believe it, but I DO believe that Khun is treated far from the prince that everyone in Korea labels him as. Not just the fact that he has no Korean blood, but he has no discernible talent other than a pretty face, so I think he's worked very hard to improve and get into 2PM (I mean, JYPE begged him to join, but they could have kept him a trainee for years like Kwon). I get the feeling that he really strives to get other people's approval -- but not in the attention-whorish sense.
Other aspects of Khun: he's always smiling, but it's not like he NEVER gets angry. It's more like a, "I know I look good like this, so I'll smile" sort of thing. It's his job to smile. But in Wild Bunny, you see him getting angry at Jay/Taec/Chansung for ditching them. He was like, "whatever, they're dead to us, leave them if they want to leave us" at first, so you can tell he knows when he's been wronged, but he got pretty sullen pretty quickly, so I don't think he's the type to yell, and then he didn't get angry at the other three when everyone met up again, so I don't think he's the type to hold a grudge. I think he's the type to express his anger only when he feels like it. He's got VERY VERY good control over his emotions. When 2PM won those awards for MAMA, he was the only one not to cry and he stood up on that stage like a proud motherfucker. The only time I've seen him cry is at Star King when all the deaf children were singing -- I guess that affected him on a more personal level? He really loves kids and he's said that he's eager to get married so he can have kids.
Also, he's quiet. That WB episode where they were all pranking on Taec, Junho admits in one of those side interviews that he'd totally forgotten that Khun wasn't there. Because everyone is always so focused on his looks and he rarely talks, I get the impression that Khun is sort of... boring, for lack of better word. I'm positive that he's got more interesting aspects of his personality, but we probably won't get see them on camera for a long time. Also he's not too bright, academically speaking. He is, however, very intuitive though about what the public expects from him. He's also very very caring, as evidenced by him wiping sweat from other members' faces and on WB he fed Wooyoung a piece of dried mango, lol.
ANYWAY this was way TL;DR. I've got way too many thoughts about Nichkhun mainly because I have the most respect for him out of all the members of 2PM. Please feel free to correct me if you think I've missed a bit part of his character or if you disagree with something I've written. :) Hope that this has been helpful!

Ahhhh this is so interesting. How about his family? I always see fics with Jay's brother popping up here and there, so I imagine they are either really close. Sometimes I see Khun's sisters mentioned, but never his brother. Is there something about how close he is to his family, or what kind of relationship they have?

Sorry I didn't reply to this earlier, I went to get some food.
I assume that Khun is close to his siblings. He's spent a good portion of his life abroad though, so I don't think he has the years of living together experience that most siblings have. Personally I think he is the naggy one of the family, lolol. I've heard rumours of Khun going onto his sister's facebook and being like, "Those clothes are way too revealing." LMAO that probably IS just a rumour but I have no trouble imagining him as fiercely protective of his sisters. There's a video floating around of him cutting up food on his own plate and then holding it out for his youngest sister to eat. OH! Also I should mention that people nicknamed Khun "puppy" because of this fancam of him biting into a piece of tissue at a backstage worker's request (probably to clean up his lipstick/gloss or whatever) and he looks straight into her eyes as he does this, like "is this okay, what I'm doing?" That incident also helped me form the opinion that he likes to have approval that he's doing the right thing.
His brother, idk. I think they're close? I guess they're more chill, although I have nothing to base this off of. The only time I've seen them interact was when Khun was introducing his parents and brother to the Wonder Girls way back when. He sort of pulled his brother forward by the hand and his brother just snatched his hand back before bowing to the girls, lol. Guess he doesn't like to be babied by Khun since he's the older bro.
Does that help? I know very little about his siblings so it's the best I can do, haha. :)
