Question:

I live in TX, where the temp can get up to 100+, or down to about mid 30s. My door jamb says 35psi, my tires are at about 23 or so at 60 degrees.

I havn't inflated in a while, should I put them up to 35 right now, or is there a formula one should use for inclement weather?

In addition, my tires havn't been rotated in a while (maybe 40k miles?), so I decided to do it. I bent a lug wrench attempting to remove some lug nuts. I'm no pansy, but those nuts didn't move. Does 'righty tighty, lefty loosey' apply to lug nuts?

Is there a chance they are 'rusted' on? The truck is a 1996 with 60k miles on it. No rust visible on the nuts.
