What about the DAP (blue and black can)? It says on it that it won't
overexpand.

be careful with spray foam ,it can swell and cause your widows to"bind up"
a better choice is foam backer rod and fiber glass insulation
they do make a minimal swell foam ,which can also work out well,if used
sparingly
many of my customers,here in Maine have used great stuff and now cannot
open there window due to the expansion of that foam

This one's easy. When they replaced your windows, they didn't use
spray foam in the gaps between the window and the rough frame. (those
gaps where shims are inserted) Removing the trim around the window
and spraying the foam in those gaps will take care of that
condensation. Of course put the trim back.



Chances are that the bottom of your attic insulation is soaked and
you'll need to remove and replace it. Dry wall ceiling probably is
too.
I've never heard of too much ridge ventilation. The whole point of
soffit and ridge ventilation is to suck air from the soffit up to the
ridge vent to keep air moving so moisture won't build up.
I would recommend a reliable insulation contractor to look into the
attic crawl space.
