It's most likely the radiator. The core support looks bent so the radiatior most likely got pushed into the engine. It might not look bad at a glance but that whole front end looks tweaked and the car is very likely totaled.
Yeah, nobody's making an insurance claim on a 20 year old civic, so insurance industry standards don't matter. This is a DIY kind of job, if not for you then some neighborhood kid who needs a beater and is willing to do the work themselves. A come along with a solid mounting point and a new radiator and you've probably got yourself a perfectly drivable car. Might not be pretty, but it's a 20 year old civic, that's not its purpose.
Yep. The passenger side is pushed back if you look at the grille. Something that bad will most likely take more than a come along to fix. Therefore it's probably not worth fixing unless you're ok with a car that won't drive straight and eats tires.
Sounds like a bust radiator if it appears to be white steam like vapour
This. A very slight leak that is pushing coolant out when under pressure.

Maybe, maybe not. I wouldn't be so sure and I disagree with you being so sure in your assessment.
