I will let others answer on the questions I don't know about.

But from my side:
1) Pakistani national iqama holders don't get visa on arrival to Kuwait ( or indeed any visa easily, unless something has changed recently)
2) Kuwait is a dry country i.e. no alcohol. Hence no bars, clubs etc
3) Driving standards are absolutely horrible - worse than Saudi
4) Overt racism - probably the worst in the GCC

Honestly, if you ask me, it is not worth it to go to Kuwait if you are going for fun. Go to Bahrain instead by road.
