If all the beads are dry, should they not all be orange? Why are most of them transparent in the picture? Do they arrive all orange or... ?

Most of the beads are clear, just the orange ones go greenish-blue when they’re “wet”. It is very evident when the beads need drying.

Can the beads be put in the oven to dry when they're in the mini bags provided (ones w the drawstrings)? Or do they need to come out of the bags first

Yes they should come out the bag. There are clear instructions how to bake off the moisture. I use several baking trays and recharge the beads in the oven. Tip is to regularly open the oven to allow moisture out to speed up the drying process.

Can the beads be used loose on larger areas? We had a flood in a wine cellar where we don't wish to use heat.

No. You would need such a huge quantity. They are intended to keep contents in containers dry, not whole rooms. For a damp basement you would most probably need a dehumidifier.

what sort of bags would i need to look for for this product? what're the drawstring bags provided called? thanks.

We bought nylon pop socks and used those tied in a knot as the aesthetics weren’t important for the way we use them in our stock bags. Basically the fabric needs to be breathable so the beads can absorb moisture.
