Hi there, I think there was certainly a push in the social media towards using more sunscreens, but I am seeing less of those lately. The SPF 50+ might not be for everyone, especially those who reside in a place where UV index is low. However, it's necessary for where I live, and SPF 50 is a basic here.
For your questions,
1. Yes if it's moisturizing enough for you. You can use both if you need more moisturization. You want to use sunscreen when the UV index is high (more UV rays) whether it's summer or winter. As snow reflects UV rays as well, you might need sunscreen.
2. It's a well discussed topic in which both have their pros and cons. Mineral is basically less irritating for sensitive skin but it has white cast, and vice versa.
3. From my experience, you might want to stay away from anything that labelled as hydrating sunscreen. Get a light sunscreen instead. I recommend skin1004 water fit sunscreen and benton mineral sunscreen. The Benton in particular keep me grease free all day.

I also recommend SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica water-fit sun serum SPF50+ PA++++. I've been using it since January and my skin is oily/sensitive. It's the best sunscreen I've ever used so far.

hello! spf is necessary, every day. if you're indoors around a sunny window all day or out doors for periods of time. it's seeming to be pushed but only because the threat of skin cancer and sun damage is getting worse and worse with the environment changing. i have very oily skin as well and I will use a light moisturizer under and then a sunscreen over the top in the colder months, and in summer I totally skip the moisturizer. it's fine to do that. but it is very important to wear it. I like more chemical sunscreens preferably, they leave less cast but I look for ones that dry down easy or are gels because I am so oily too. you'll still get oily but it takes longer, you're protected and you can use oil absorbing sheets to dab the excess later on. these two are my favorites. spf 15 is not enough, you need at least 30 or more and to reapply every 2 hrs, less so if you're indoors. hope that helps 🥰

No, SPF has pretty much being pushed thorough out the years. Now people are appreciating the ones coming out from Europe, Asia and Australia. Newer filters that North America brands cannot do, which is so much superior imho.
Yeah if you use serums and moisturizer, you need SPF because those two does not have it.
Mineral or synthetic? Choose the one that feels the best for you skinn you want to wear it everyday.
You can try mattifying sun screen or creams but they’re really expensive. So I just end up using a brush that I use to apply face powder to absorb all the oils or use some blotting papers if my face gets oily due to the humid heat.
Yeah “sun cream” or Spf with at 30 SPF can be used without a moisturizer if it is formulated well.

1) yes you can use sunscreen inplace of moisturiser! use sunscreen in winter (during the daylight hours) too
2) i personally prefer chemical as there's usually no whitecast and tends to be more moisturising, but mineral tends to work better for sensitive skin
3) you can try sunscreens that contain alcohol!
