I might be able to help you with some of your questions:

1) Bulgaria is now in the EU so the same re-location procedures as any other EU country, I guess.
2) Good areas by the sea to live: Depends if you want somewhere quiet by the sea, or somewhere vibrant.
Varna for me. The Black sea capital. The holiday destination for many Bulgarians and other Eastern Europeans. Local population now over 400,000 and still rising.
3) Weather can be mild one winter and bitter for a couple of  weeks the folowing year. Usually the Black sea Coast isnt so bad compared to inland.
4) Buying can be relatively straight forward and can be cheap, if you want it to be. Probably the cheapest country in europe to buy property.
7) Food and drink-wise: Main course meal with soft drink and garlic bread can be under £5 in a restaurant, depending which restaurant you choose. 85p a pint of lager is regular. Bulgaria must be the most inexpensive place to `eat-out' in europe!
