I have a couple stainless steel hose clamps. Do they need to be plastic?

Plastic. Even the stainless steel will rust in that environment.

That would depend on the grade of stainless steel, 316, 313 etc, 316 or higher should be fine but personally I don't trust the quality or grade of stainless for many hose clamps.
