Q: 1. Will it be suitable to carry Celestron Nexstar 8SE telescope and its tripod?

A: I would go for the unit with foam or TrekPak. I bought 2 of these units for high end printing units and photographic gear. Have gone with the TrekPak inserts and the equipment is very secure and stable when the case is closed. I have an older unit with the foam and the gear in that unit has travelled on many global flights and never had an issue. I think with either foam or TrekPak, you will be good to go! I can't comment for size as I don't know how big the Celestron is.

Q: 2. Why is the silver 1564 case less money than the other colors ?

A: Supply and demand. I have both silver and black 1560 cases and both are same pelican quality.

Q: 3. Would this case work for a telescope where the optical tube's diameter is 9.1 and an length of 16.75 ?

A: The foam can be pulled apart to fit anything even your telescope.I am not sure how strong those are but I would save some foam and use it to cover up the unit.Basically give some space at the top of the telescope and drop foam on top for travel.

It holds a lot of stuff. This is in the back of my car, secured with a padlock and cabled to the D hooks attached to the body of the car.

Q: 9. I've read that the color of the case affects the relative 'hotness' of the exterior when in the sun. Black being the worst (no surprise). Any feedback on how color choice affects the inside temperature of the case?

A: Personally, I do not think it has a huge impact on temperature. While it may be possible for the exterior of a black or darker-colored case to seem warmer than a lighter-colored case, I do not know of anyone who has taken the internal temperature of the cases to compare the internal temperature difference. However, from personal experience of both assisting other professional photographers and using my own gear in Pelican cases of various colors in summer in both Louisiana and Texas, I have had no issues with my (or others') gear in Pelican cases in 100+ degree weather. Pelican's website states that the cases will withstand temperatures from -40C (-10F) to +98.9C (+210F). Do also note that the military also uses Pelican cases in both extreme heat and cold, and the cases can handle heat. However, if you are severely concerned about temperature for some reason, you can get a custom case from Pelican, and they do manufacture temperature-controlled interiors, though you would have to contact Pelican directly for assistance with custom cases.

Q: 10. Can this be a carry on in a plane?

A: I've carried it on an international flight and had no problem, it fit overhead just fine. That being said, it is exactly the same size as the little frames they use to check the size of carry on and won't actually fit into it. So it is possible you could get some overzealous agent who wouldn't allow it.
