First one is simple (sort of, the wiring colours on the Interior light isn't always as the Diagrams show).
The solid Purple on the Interior Light is the Supply from the Permanently Live Fuse; that's what Purple is for, Permanent Live, the only other wiring that colour should be down to the Horn.
The other wires, which may be Purple/White, goes to the Door Switches, if you have them.

As to the Temp gauge, that's 'after market' so could be a poor connection somewhere, or a break in the gauge. It's probably unlikely to be the Sender in the Block, they tend to either Work, or Not.
That's assuming it's in the Block, and not some Hose Adaptor.
