The charts differ, so here is each as printed. Xcel: 9/7/6mm or 8/7/6mm Hooded Fullsuit · 6.5mm Boot · 5/4mm Glove (its band: 46° - 60° (°F) / 8° - 16° (°C)), or 7/6mm Fullsuit · 6/5/4mm Hood or Vest · 6.5mm Boot · 5/4mm Glove (its band: 50° - 65° (°F) / 10° - 18° (°C)). EN 14225-1:2017 (Scubapro manual): Thermal Performance Class A (its band: 7°C/45°F to 12°C/54°F), or Thermal Performance Class B (its band: 10°C/50°F to 18°C/64.5°F).

Each is a publisher's general guide, and they draw their temperature bands in different places. The guide shows them side by side as printed rather than picking one, so you can see where they agree.
From the Open-Meteo marine model: the sea surface temperature near your spot, hour by hour for the next 7 days. It is a model of the open sea, not a thermometer in the lineup, and close to shore it can read a nearby cell a few kilometres out.
No. The guide reads the sea surface and says nothing about the water at depth, so compare it with recent dives at the site or ask the dive shop. Depth matters for the suit too: Scubapro's wetsuit manual notes that when neoprene compresses under pressure, its thermal performance is reduced.
Yes. It is free and needs no account.
