Italy to France; First timer in Europe

I am from Philadelphia and am planning a trip to Europe. I was thinking to visit Venice, Florence/Tuscany/Pisa, Cinque Terre, and then traveling to Nice France. I am going for 10-11 days. I am going Oct 20th so although I would love to do amalfi coast I dont think it would be warm enough,. What type of clothing is good for this time of year
1. flying in and out
2. Traveling by train: should I buy a pass or wait until I get there? How far in advance should I buy the tix if so? Is Cinque Terre to Nice a long travel time?
3. Nightlife/restaurants: I am not the historical type, although cannot wait to see everything but will not be spending a lot of time in churches or museums. But dont get me wrong I love to look around, just not a buff.
4. must see...
5. Stay: Hostels/Hotels/B&B: more bang for the buck for short staying, i dont really plan on spending much time in the room
6. Any other places you recommend?
7. Am I am craming to many places in this short stay toEurope? I figured Florence would be a 1 day stay and Pisa is just a stop in between trains.

HELP....I need everything

There's absolutely no point in going to Florence and Pisa if you're not interested in art and architecture. But if you are (it's not entirely clear for me from your post), then you need minimum three days in Florence, and the stop between those two trains in Pisa will be a considerable one (taking half a day).
