I'm using a mid-level U-lock currently

Maybe what I'll do is fix up the old bike (Giant OCR 2 road bike from 2003) with some non-high end wheels / tires / cogs. It's a decent looking road bike, but definitely not as good looking as the new black Breezer I'm getting. It could be my "beater" for when I need to lock up in less-than-ideal areas.
A friend showed me sites where I can order parts directly. Is that the best cheap option for getting that one operational again? Any places for getting used road wheels / etc?
Good choice on the single speed bike, very utilitarian. There's a little too much chain slack in this picture though, you'll want to tighten that a little so you don't drop your chain. If you've got hills and it gets too hard to pedal, consider getting some foot retention or consider lowering your gear ratio by getting a slightly smaller chainring. Like others have said, definitely ditch the cable lock and get a U-Lock. I carry mine in a belt holster for convenience, it makes the bike feel much lighter than when you mount it to the frame. Other than that leave a spare change of clothes (including shoes and everything!) at work for peace of mind and don't overthink it, do everything you can to make sure it stays fun!
