1. Yes, it is safe to climb at night. Actually, many people do that in order to catch the sunrise.
2. Along the climbing route and on the mountaintop, many sites are available for tent rental. You need to pay CNY200 guarantee fee and the tent rental costs CNY50-60. When returning the tent, you can get the CNY200.
3. I also know Kongjun Hotel, in the north of Jade Emperor Summit and close to North Heavenly Gate Cable Car, and Mountaintop Xuri Htel near Jade Emperor Summit. They charge CNY300-400/night/room. If climbing at night, it is no need to stay in a hotel.
4. Yes, public toilet is available on the top. Besides, there are many toilets along the roads.
5. Although lamplight are set along the roads, I suggest you prepare a flashlight. Besides, prepare enough water, and a towel (for wiping perspiration). It will be cold on the top, if possible, pack up several pieces of thick clothing.
6. No, TA and Taishan Stations are diffferent. Take a taxi from the high speed rail station to the scenic area and it costs around CNY25.

May help!
