What is an appropriate daily temperature to be able to start putting out suet into feeders so that it does not melt or go rancid? 70 degrees? 60 degrees?

I put that out only in fall or winter. The rest of the year I use regular ol' bird seed from a bag in a feeder. Probably 60 degrees is better for the suet though.
I've never had bird food last in the feeder for more than a day. It's usually gone within a couple of hours.

One I've never thought of. I tend to feed from about now onwards, so it is rare we would reach 70, but the RSPB recommend feeding all year round. I doubt it would ever get hot enough to melt suet, and only put out enough so it doesn't go off, but gets eaten first.
