It will run at whatever temp the thermostat is rated at. Prob around 80 - 85 degC

Is it a capillery or electric gauge? If it is a Smiths electric it should probably be wired through the voltage stabiliser. If the only figures on the dial are H N C then it should read Normal. You are better off getting a gauge with actual temperature figures on it

Probably - when the thermostat opens. If you want the heater to work - fit a higher rated thermostat (88 or even 92) for winter.
