As long as when it gets to 100 the fan cuts in there doesnt sound to be a problem. If it goes over 100 though, stop the engine immediatly, or risk a warped cylinder head. The fans staying on to cool the engine even with the key out.

Shouldn't come on whilst you're moving, it usually comes on whilst stationary, but not whilst moving. Check your coolant levels.

hmm, air lock? Coolant leaking? Low oil?

tbh you dont use massive amounts of coolant so if your low, id check for leaks.

Head gasket on its way, but it aint actually overheated yet? Just top it up with water for now, now pure antifreeze
