Depends on the season, I have been in the same exact spot both in summer and in winter, in the summer it can be up to 34-35C, in the winter it can go down to -32-34C
Public transport is excellent, trains can easily take you to Norway or Denmark, we have regular ferries all over the Baltic sea, so you can easily get around.
Everyone will speak good english, though if you already know some german that will help you in the supermarkets.
As far as I know the fanciest restaurant in Stockholm is Frantzén, it has three Michelin stars and a normal price for a meal is a few thousand euros if I understand properly.
For a more budget friendly option you could look into these places:
Stockholm Fisk - an excellent fish restaurant in the center of Stockholm.
East - a nice asian restaurant.
Meatballs for the people - a restaurant specializing in meatballs.
Too be perfectly honest, I hardly ever go out and eat on restaurants, so I am not super quallified to answer your question, but I will share my best restaurant experience.
It was a dinner cruise on the classic steam boat S/S Norrskär in a beautiful summers evening back in 2016.
The boat is lovely, the views are fantastic, the atmosphere is amazing and the food was great.
Just sitting in a restaurant on a classic steamboat cruising the smooth waters of the Stockholm archipelago as the sun shines brightly from a low angle while you are eating a classic steamboat steak is awesome.

Feel free to ask more specific questions
Where in sweden can I find good food? Do you guys use Yelp or what?
What do you mean, “good food”?
You mean like restaurants?
Yelp, I have probably never used it, I mostly rely on friends and coworkers for tips or Google maps…
Places one would go to eat good food. Could be a guy at a stand or a restaurant
Ok so restaurants.
