If I remember the comics correctly, there was not (initially) two costumes for Pete to wear. He got the symbiote costume during the Sercret Wars cause his original was ruined. At that point the symbiote was his only costume. Once he got rid of the symbiote he made a black costume similar to it...and the original Red/Blue.
Not quite, Black Cat made him the black costume made of regular material, and I think he just had a spare R/B costume. This is why Venom does so much dmamge to SPidey behiund the scenes, because BOTH of them were wearing black costumes, the same one to teh general public.
This is also part of the "Umph" Venom had during his first appearance, because he looked so much like Spidey.
Anyway, I think the theory of "the longer he has it on, the more he/symbiote become one" is the best we can work with right now. (I mean, I heard rumors regarding the new hair-do and the symbiote are linked, but I don't wanna say nothing. ) This also is why Brock can become Venom. Loud noises/sonics actually hurt the symbiotes. In it's weakened state, during the belltower scene, my guess it, if it was thinking about anything in particular, it was it's own base survival.
"If I can live through this, at least I may be able to find another host..." Whereas otherwise, it'd be doomed to die from sheer weakness.
Symbiotes are less symbiotic and more parasitic. They basically live off the emotions and feeling, as well certain body chemicals, of their host. Naturally, because they are evil in nature, bad emotions and such are the things symbiotes thrive on. THAT'S why the Venom symbiote loves Brock, because they BOTH hate Spidey and Parker.
