** They weren't 'still working', they were clearly shown to be broadcast out of the extensions from the Morlock temple-head. They continued making/replacing the sirens as needed, and continued conditioning the Eloi to follow it when it was dinner time. Making a specific sound is not particularly difficult, and the Morlocks are clearly intelligent enough to maintain farming/clothing manufacturing for the Eloi.

** He was initially just playing with his new toy and running around looking at shiny things that piqued his interest. He was just playing around watching the changing fashions, and stopped at a random time to go off for a jaunt to find out what had been happening - and happened to find out that the world was at war and his friend had died. If he hadn't run into Filby's son and found out about the war and his death, he presumably would have started investigating various events and whatnot in the fairly near future. But the war and Filby's death motivated him to simply rush headlong forward and try to find a spot where the world WASN'T at war.

*** This was asked in the form of a casual write-in poll in the lobbies of the initial screening’s theatres. Virtually every respondent put down the Bible, non-Christians put down the Bible and their own holy books, and the others were simply all over.

* For what ''in-Verse'' reason do the Morlocks bother to make clothes for the Eloi? Sure, the Meta reason is that they couldn't have actors running around naked in a 1960 movie, but in-universe it seems like a lot of needless work and a waste of resources, considering the perfect climate that the surface apparently enjoys.
