The phrase is a hallmark of the 'Intelligentsia' speech. Using it correctly signals that you are well-educated and respect the formal rules of the language. In Soviet bureaucracy, this phrase was used extensively in official reports to explain why targets were or weren't met, often creating a 'heroic' narrative of overcoming obstacles.

As a conjunction (meaning 'although'), it is always one word: 'несмотря'.
'Хотя' is shorter and more casual. 'Несмотря на то, что' is more formal and emphasizes the obstacle more strongly.
No. With a noun, just say 'несмотря на дождь'. You only need 'то, что' if a verb/clause follows.
