Re the actors: I think the usual approach would be to film the whole scene with everyone involved, get all the wide shots, and then start to break it down, so that they're filming the medium shots and close-ups with only a few actors or one actor at a time. Whether the others hang around for the whole thing, and help out by standing in for themselves (if you see what I mean), would depend on their star power, their schedule, and their generous temperament. :-)
Re the sound: They always record the sound at the time, and would use a great deal of what they record, but would also add extra sound effects in later. I suspect they would always start with the sound recorded at the time, for the sake of the 'ambience' of the location, and add to it (or delete from it). And then there's the dialogue, of course - the actors will need to go to the studio to re-record their dialogue, if it wasn't recorded cleanly at the time.
Re the effect of the weather: Well, I suppose it could be any of those things! And it seems that they've soldiered on through some very rainy days this week! Wind might be particularly difficult to cope with, as it affects everything, including the sound. They can provide shelter from rain, for both the equipment and the actors. I think they would soldier on if they possibly can, unless the story really requires sun instead of storms, but if the worst came to the worst then they might try to rejig the schedule, and retreat to the studio sets.
I hope that helps!
