O2 readings are supposed to fluctuate between rich and lean, that is part of how the computer caluclates proper fuel/air ratio. It is working properly. Your intake temp will only get to the temperature of the air it is taking in, but is also affected by the heating of the intake, it really doesn't go bad, or is a big concern unless it grounds out and produces an extreme reading.

Yes sir, the O2 will go up and down like crazy. IATs can get much higher than ambient, especially in traffic. I wouldn't worry about them, not just for daily driving.
