Sentences

Hello,

Could you please help me with the folowing sentences?

1) At the dawn of the nineteenth century in Portugal, John Zarco Stewart is an inquisitive hot-headed child and the unwitting inheritor of a faith shrouded in three hundred years of secrecy.

hot-headed: does it mean "curious"?
unwitting inheritor : does it mean that he inherited a faith without being aware of it?

2).......as a place to wait out the storm,

Why "wait out he storm" and not "wait the storm out"? Is it an exception?

Thanks a lot.

Rui.
