1. Not unreasonable. But it minimizes the risk of you spreading the disease much more than you getting it. Infection can also occur through eyes. Some places have fines for not doing so already... Check your local authorities and infection levels.
2. Not unreasonable, can indeed hurt:
Gloves and masks can also carry the virus onto other surfaces if not used or disposed of carefully.
3. Can't hurt. Possibly too much. I havent seen a study of virus spread on non-porous surfaces.
The virus seems to survive around three days in plastic, for example. Some are considering careful introduction of groceries to the house.
4. Cant hurt, but soap is likely better than alcohol.
5. Cant hurt.
6. ?
EDIT: it is okay to be careful, but also keep in mind people are overreacting
For instance, people are refraining from donating blood, at a time when it is needed. https://www.npr.org/local/305/2020/03/23/820089376/it-s-safe-to-donate-blood-during-the-coronavirus-pandemic-hospitals-wish-you-would https://www.npr.org/local/305/2020/03/23/820089376/it-s-safe...

Perhaps it would help to read the statistics about the hospitalization and death rate for the age group of the OP and SO. Some people imagine it's like Ebola. Note that it is different if there is some old people or someone with another bad health precondition. In that case some additional measures may be helpful. It is important to flatten the curve, but at some point it becomes an overreaction.
