MC Sorcerer. Not a particularly good use of your feat space, but it does exist.

Not really, at least on a permanent basis (since no spells are permanent).  Get some items with radiant resistance, though, and you're mostly covered.
Another day, another three or four entries to my Ignore List.

While it shouldn't be something that the DM ignores, it also isn't something he should be doing to you all the time. If he does, that simply smacks of him punishing you for your choice of character class.

Still, in order for the DM to really take advantage of it, it requires some houseruling, as there are no rules for how to take equipment away from a character during combat. Work out with your DM what sort of things need to be done in order to remove your coverings in combat.

The vulnerability shouldn't exist as a mechanical element to begin with.

Well considering your a vamp, it should.

As for the OP, yeah just wear a cloak.  But honestly if you're worry this much about sunlight, then why are you playing a vamp?  I mean, if you wanted to play a vamp without the sunlight weakness just play a different striker.  There's easier ways to be dark and creepy without being a vamp.  Or being something else and take the Dhampir feats.  Otherwise, just wear a cloak and hope for the best, that's what comes with playing a vamp.

No, it should not. It restricts the ability of the character to participate in plotlines, of the player to refluff the mechanics for other things, and there's no circumstance in which it will come into play other than the DM deciding to be a jerk.
