just above half way?  I.e. 90c-100c?  Thats not overheating. Engine should always run @ 90c.

Check coolant levels, check fan is working.  Don't worry about it.

You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.

Before you panic on the mayo issue, it might not be the head gasket, the oil cooler could have failed.
