Yes, it will be fine.
Thinks don't spoil as quickly as they did in your mother and grandmother's time as we have homes that have a/c.

Don't take the chance-put it in the fridge. Newer refrigerators are designed to handle placing hot items in them-they have the power to cool it down quickly without affecting your other foods. No sense risking salmonella.

It will take so long to cool that you could not put it in the refrigerator before. Go to sleep and do not worry. It will be fine when you wake up.

Yep- it will take about 3 hours to cool and will be fine for a few more- leave the top on.
