yes. python anywhere does not offer a smtp server on localost. You must
login to gmail or other smtp server

no. web2py only uses auth2 to delegate authentication to others. If you are
not not explicitly using oauth2 you are fine.

@auth.requires_login()
def delete_my_account():
del db.auth_user[auth.user.id]
return 'bye bye!'

form.element('button',_type='submit')['_class'] = 'btn-danger'
or use a custom form in html.

yes. integration with tornado for chats and chat groups is already built in:
