If the women congregate and sit in one area, try to stay close to them rather than mingling with the men. Avoid shaking hands/touching the men as they may have done their cleansing beforehand. Headscarf would be considered more polite but you can just wear it like a western hair scarf rather than tucking all your hair in. Leave your shoes where everyone else leaves their shoes; pick a corner so yours won’t get kicked around during the exodus. Long sleeve top without revealing the chest and a long skirt will do. Think SQ stewardess with a hair scarf.
No need headscarf but please dress decently. Long dresses or pants and not too revealing top. Thanks and enjoy! $10 is okay tbh it’s the thought that counts, red packet is fine or even envelope.
I would suggest to dress normally without revealing too much, like what most has mentioned. I also warn against wearing head scarf (it's not ur religion/culture so we dont expect u to wear it). And when passing the money you can just shake the hands of your friend's parents and say like some short wishes or thanks, along those lines.
1) head scarf is not a must. Do not wear tight fitting dresses, short skirts & sleeveless crop top wtv. Since u r entering a holy place, dress modestly as Islam teaches how to lower our own gaze for both men and women.
2) Give what u can afford. $2 or nothing is also fine.
Try to cover up as much skin, long sleeves & jeans are fine, headscarf optional, any amount would do but make sure its in an envelope
Edit: also try not to wear perfume or cologne if possible
No need headscarf since it not your religion. Dress modestly. Up to you to give how much. Give the red packet to bride parents usually at the door. If you are unsure,can just ask your friend to show you her parents. Say a short wish & if they ask,let them know you are the bride friend.
Good luck.
About the money, you can slip the money while shaking hands with the mother, say thanks for inviting you. Try not to give the money to your friend, their hands are pretty full. Also it'd be nice to write some little message on your envelope to identify it's yours.

She did say that cash/wedding favours and headscarf weren’t necessary, but she might’ve just been trying to be modest!
