This was done using a prosthetic chest on his real chest (make sure to sing that to the tune of "We Want A Rock" by They Might Be Giants).

It's a fictional OS, designed by Philip Shtoll:
Not sure what the hacking dongle did exactly, but I guess it automatically accessed and downloaded certain files:

There is no official word on the actual reason for replacing Terrence Howard from the second installment of the movie. Nonetheless, there are some speculative reasons, which were doing rounds in the industry about his departure or better say eviction from Iron Man 2 and the main thing which kept coming was..
Contract Negotiation
According to Entertainment ...

Showing Tony's infatuation with Hot Rods is a very efficient storytelling tool. And through show-not-tell you can immediately deduce that:
Tony loves to tinker with machines.
Lives life in the fast lane.
Has oodles of money (and time) to spare on pet projects.
He has a very obsessive (and possessive) personality.
All of these are core to the character of ...

Stan Lee isn't casting himself in these cameos - it's a tradition which started back in 1989 with one of the original TV Hulk spin-off movies, one that has endured ever since.
From The Trial of the Incredible Hulk - 1989
He may have a producer credit on the Marvel movies, but his involvement doesn't go any deeper than just being a beloved figurehead - ...

I would personally think that this is a subtle reference to the type of person that Tony Stark is, he is what would commonly be referred to as a 'Hot-Rod' in that he has a firey temper and is quite reckless in his life.
Also, it gives him the inspiration for the colour of the Iron Man suit.

All the assumptions you have done are quite true in all the aspects. JARVIS stands for Just A Rather Very Intelligent System in the movie. So what can Jarvis do? In the movie we have seen him as a computer which acts as a Digital Assistant. Jarvis handles each and everything about the Tony Stark including his work, Writing Programs for his Suit, Handling ...

Stark Expo occurs in Flushing Meadows, New York which you could drive to D.C. in a few hours. Tony does live in Malibu as displayed in the movie as well as for Hammer Industries which is in Queens, NY.

Its due to Huge pay cut as rumor suggest and even due to role cut as indicated in @Incognito's answer.
Here are Howard's reaction on the removal from Iron Man 2-
"Marvel made a choice, and it was a very, very bad choice. They didn't
keep their word. They didn't honor my contract," Howard tells Parade
magazine. "They produced a great bounty with the ...

Just to provide some more links (I'm not gonna try and match the other answer):
Jarvis is shown to interact in conversation. This involves voice recognition and interpretation. Voice recognition is the conversion of sound to text/language and is actually easier than the interpretation part in which the AI has to really understand what you're saying. Siri is ...

I cannot exactly recall the scene but I would bet it is one that they have pretty much made up for the film. You could probably knock one up similar based on linux if you had the skills and inclination.
The hacking dongle would, most likely, do nothing for real. If you had a secure system it would not allow anything on the dongle to run without the admin ...

I think it's surely the "show, don't tell" aspect of his ingenuity and hobby. It shows us his probable rebellious past, maybe his first car. And since he's so mechanically inclined, the car probabbly portrays this side of Stark in a raw unrefined form of his past self. Hot Rodders are always tinkering with their cars and the deep cultural history behind Hot ...
