1 rather than 2.
3 - yes, although I don't understand it. If they're hollow chocolate eggs, I'd say just 'chocolate eggs' (I know you can have filled chocolate eggs, but they're usually called 'filled eggs' or [if appropriate] 'creme eggs'.)
4 In BE, 'hats'. But in AmE, because - I'd guess - of the influence of a largely immigrant population (with many false friends in their native languages at the time that they arrived), I wouldn't be surprised if the singular was preferred.

ps
Or maybe the hollow eggs are just shells - in which case, I'd expect the term 'blown egg-shells'
