5. How can anyone know?

An appeals court just reinstated the restrictive law - today, just a few hours ago, and it is signed already by you know who

The Florida law, known as Senate Bill 90, added new restrictions on drop boxes, third-party voter registration, mail voting, and “line warming” activities like giving voters food and water while they wait in line to cast a ballot.
snip...
The state appealed the ruling and asked the U.S. Circuit Court for a temporary stay on Walker's order. The appeals court granted the request on Friday, saying it is too close to an election for the lower court to make changes to voting rules.

More on the question though, it isn't as simple as the difference between being able to give water and being able to get water. There were some guidelines that didn't fit neatly into a soundbite. Have you tried looking at Ballotpedia or the state site: https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2021/90

Update: the state site shows the governor signed it into law today. Just that quick. They're going full dictatorship late on a Friday. Would could have guessed that?
