Front fan(s) should be running if aircon is on and working, otherwise they only come on as a last resort, and then only for a short period.

98° is a bit warm, but not unheard of for normal running, especially in this heat :-\

Should start at 95^oC. Not sure though that rad switch went rubbish as it seems work a bit later but still normal. I've already heard that rad switch did not switch at all but never that switched later. Also the temp gauge sender may cheat a wee bit...if you don't hear boiling the water in the engine then no need to worry is my guess.
