I can answer a couple of these as a former-nuke dad. Holiday stand-down is just Christmas. You will need a chit (permission) to go as far as PA, but that is completely routine, not a problem.

The only time we as family were on base, by which I assume you mean the part of the base where the school is, was at graduations, and then only certain parts of the campus not including the BEQ. If you family comes down for vacation, best to think in terms of visiting downtown Charleston (1/2 hour away) and/or Patriots Point, maybe go to the beach at Isle of Palms or Folly Beach.
