Welcome to the Orchid Board.

Soak some in a bowl for a few hours. If it becomes mushy I wouldn't use it. Otherwise I would use it.

The heat mats probably keep the pots and roots warmer than the air, so they do help. You could cover the plants at night with a blanket or sheet to hold the heat.

It depends on your temperatures. Warmer is better with Phals. You can gently remove the moss ball from the outer pot so it dries faster.

Try to keep direct sun off the medium and base of the stems. That area can heat up rapidly and cook plants. I have to watch for this in my climate.

That looks like sunburn. The leaves are also shriveled, so it probably needs more water.

The leaves look dehydrated to me. Rather than smooth and shiny, they are wrinkled, pitted and dull.

I bought a couple of nice Matsui Phals. last year. I went to the Web site to find a contact to see whether I could get IDs. It says prominently on the Web site they won't ID plants.

Welcome to the Orchid Board.

I think root damage from repotting, causing trouble taking up water, is most likely. You can't identify virus without a virus test.

Yes, that is heat damage, and not enough watering. If you keep it against that metal wall, it will be even hotter. Even with daily soaks there isn't enough time to take up enough water.
