Genova is a marmite choice, the old centre reminds me of Marrakesh, there are walls, there are tiny alleys but a lot of the alleys tend to have tourist tat on them, you have to get off the tourist trail to find more attractive/natural areas. I certainly can suggest a lot of towns/cities in the Po valley which are far more attractive
I'd say Como is as attractive as 5-Terre especially when you take into account movement sickness. But don't leave our Padua (Padova), Mantua (Mandova), Ferrara, Verona etc across the Po down to Ravenna

To answer your questions:
1. I do agree the car will give you quite lot of flexibility on timing and also changing plan in case of weather
2. I do not think it is known to be a windy area. The drive is fine Florence- Pisa - La Spezia, only highway you should be fine
3. Very safe - not to worry at all!
4. Coming to Cinque Terre just to see 1 village I believe it does not worth to just come and rush. Also it is not only about the village. Ideally, I would stay one night in LaSpezia, and take the train to view the different villages from their. You can't bring your car to Cinque Terre, better to take an hotel in La Spezia for 1 night and leave your car in the Hotel parking.
