Hi! I'm curious as to what species you are, or what you look like. Do you have a pic of yourself?
Now for your questions.
1. It can be both! It depends on the situation. We use them to keep warm, cover ourselves for modesty, to decorate ourselves for events, to express ourselves... sometimes we wear uniforms, which is part of a job. Sometimes we wear costumes, for different reasons. Armor isn't really worn any more, but it used to be, for war. Nowadays, bulletproof vests are a thing. I built a type of stealth camouflage before, that made the person go invisible.
I went on a tangent, sorry. No, where I come from, magic isn't real. We use physical combat techniques or weapons. Firearms are the most efficient and powerful, but blunt or sharp objects can also be used.
2. In a sense. Humans are a mammal, so we don't go from, say, a caterpillar to a cocoon to a butterfly. We just get bigger over time. We go through "puberty" once we reach a certain age range, wherein we stop being children and grow into teenagers, and then after that stage, young adulthood. Puberty is the process of physical changes through which a child's body matures into an adult body capable of sexual reproduction. It is initiated by hormonal signals from the brain to the gonads: the ovaries in females, the testes in males.
A lot of human maturity has to do with emotional and mental development. We have big brains, after all, which is what put us as the top of the food chain. The brain finishes developing once we reach the age of 21. Some people never seem to mature emotionally or mentally.
3. Humans are mammals, and plenty of other types of mammals have fur and hair all over! We just don't. A theory of why we aren't furry any more is when we evolved to live and hunt on hot grasslands and plains, we needed to thermoregulate differently. Another theory is that when humans started living near water, hair is a poor insulator in water, so we developed a layer of fat. We use sweat to keep cool, as someone already mentioned!
This is very general, since humans vary from person to person. Biology with us is complex! For example, I'm a man, but I have very little body hair compared to a friend of mine, who has plenty of fluffy chest hair. I just cannot grow that, based on my genetics.
