Following up, you are probably going to be best served by avoiding walking on route 1, it's definitely not pedestrian friendly without sidewalks a lot of the way, and Washington St roughly parallels it anyway. However, given the anticipated traffic, it may be bumper to bumper so might be safe but personally I'd still avoid it. Lastly, if there's only one of you.....

You will need to get the train into Boston and then get the special events train from South Station -which does not stop in Dedham. The problem here is getting back to Dedham after a late game as you'll end up being in Boston later in the night if you take the train back. I also think there have been some posts that have said there's an organized bus from the holiday inn in Dedham to the stadium (and from some places in Boston too), but you're going to have to contact them to book a place if you can (and sorry, I don't know who is organizing this or who to contact). You could try an Uber, but I have a feeling they are going to be ridiculously expensive and probably very hard to get. There is also a 34e bus from Dedham to Walpole, but that still doesn't get you close to the stadium, plus you'll still have the problem of getting back after a night game.

I haven't heard of anything, so I doubt it's happening. However, if there are so many fans drinking openly, I wonder if the state and local police will effectively just give up trying to police that. They may just end up using it as an excuse if some people are rowdy or violent. It's really a case of you waiting and seeing -though of course if you are one of the first you obviously run the risk of being arrested. I'm not endorsing this -after all it's illegal here - but if you decided to do it, I'd say pour a drink into a soft drinks can or an opaque water bottle, don't make yourself obvious or stand out by shouting loudly next to a police officer sort of thing. If a police officer asks you to pour out a drink, just apologize, say you didn't realize and do it immediately. And definitely don't argue with a police officer -and as humour here is a little different, just be a bit careful engaging in any banter with a police officer, as they can take things literally. Having said that, much depends on the police officer and I think many police officers are fine, and I think the Scotland fans will be as well.

I stand to be corrected on this, but I wouldn't think a foreign driving license would be scannable or they'd even bother making it as such. Either way, they're looking for ID, and ultimately a passport should do the trick - but of course carrying one around with you might not be worth the risk (particularly if .. cough ... You might end up celebrating too much and losing it). Just my opinion (and of course I could be wrong), but it wouldn't surprise me if a UK driver's license is sufficient. I'm also assuming worst case scenario is you could find a fellow Scot who could order for you.

I'm sorry I don't know -I've only ever cycled or driven to the stadium where I've parked. The other issue is that the WC -with all the different restrictions -is going to be so different from the Patriots games. So even on a patriots game day and you could easily get an Uber, it may not (actually very probably) will not be applicable for the wc. I will say I also think the Uber situation is likely to be crazy -there will be so much demand, the on demand dynamic pricing is likely to be through the roof.... However, you can take your chances and see if someone is charging for you to park in their driveway near to the stadium and then walking in -of course that's not a guarantee. Other businesses also sometimes charge to park, but I'm not familiar with them. So sadly, I haven't got a good answer. The only thing I can think of that could be any use would be to go to Google maps, and then call each business to see if they are offering parking, and then get there early.

I'm only really familiar with the north side of the stadium, and I assume since you are headed south west, you'd obviously need to be picked up on South side. My best guess would be Pine St, close to the Lafayette house, about 30 mins walk. Walking on route 1 South from the stadium (make sure you cross over when you can, usually there are state troopers or local police managing pedestrian crossings just outside the stadium) shouldn't be a problem -there are some sidewalks - plus given how busy it's going to be, traffic should be at a crawl. The tricky part will be where you drive from there -whether you bite the bullet and rejoin route 1 South or head to Wrentham and do a big dog leg. Good luck!
