You obviously know what you are doing and I bet you will finish well. It makes more sense to me to practice as much as possible in the conditions of the race. A pool swim is very different from an ocean swim. I've admired the swim club you mention but never had the desire to repeat the "freezing" swims of my youth.
Yes. Wetsuits are allowed and probably 99% of the triathletes will wear one. I will.
However, there's an open water swim club that organizes Alcatraz swims and reports that 15-20% of their swimmers opt not to wear one. Those folks must swim in the bay regularly and I would assume are accustomed to the cold water. Most triathletes log the majority of their time in a pool.
