Chickens don't need to eat or drink at night actually. They fill their crop before roosting at night and digest that food all night long. So if they don't come out at night don't worry about it too much.

That is true. If you really want a waterer in the coop a chick sized one works good because of how little surface area it has.

It should not be a issue to just use it without power in the warm weather. And correct, you want to avoid moisture in the coop, especially in the winter when frostbite is a concern.
