First question--I think sub-adults and adults could tolerate a 100F basking spot. I'd be concerned about the young ones though. If they are puking within a day or two of a feeding, then your basking spot is too high. I guess you would find out sooner rather than later. A five to seven day regurge typically means that your temps are too low and the food is rotting like you say.
Second question--I've heard of emerald keepers using outdoor cages during different times of year down here. It might work. But, I am in North Florida. Our temps fluctuate with lows in the 30s in the winter. It would only be a possibility in the summer.
