For the evaluation of primary, force based, collapse loads, the B31.1/B31.3 codes require:
1) A Sustained case evaluation, which would consist of force based load primatives such as Weight, and Pressure.
2) An Occasional case evaluation. What the codes say is that the "stresses" from the occasional loads are to be summed with the stresses from the Sustained loads.
As to your questions:
1) Does the code want you to evaluate SUS + Wind (or seismic, or snow)? Yes. Be careful how you setup your Occasional load cases to properly account for non-linear restraints. Here is the correct way to set things up.<table border="1"><tr><th>Case</th><th>Components</th><th>Stress Type</th><th>Comment</th></tr>
<tr><td>1</td><td>W+P1+T1</td><td>OPE</td><td>Typical operating case</td></tr>
<tr><td>2</td><td>W+P1</td><td>SUS</td><td>Typical sustained case</td></tr>
<tr><td>3</td><td>W+P1+T1+U1</td><td>OPE</td><td>Operating case including occasional event</td></tr>
<tr><td>4</td><td>L1-L2</td> <td>EXP</td><td>Typical expansion case</td></tr>
<tr><td>5</td><td>L3-L1</td> <td>OCC</td><td>Construction case to obtain the occasional
stresses. This is not a code case.</td></tr>
<tr><td>6</td><td>L5+L2</td> <td>OCC</td><td>Occasional case for code compliance.</td></tr>
</table>
You can't simply setup case 3 (above) as U1 and then sum L2+L3 (or setup W+P1+U1) because the non-linear restraints won't be in their operating position.
2) Is SUS + F1 a code requirement? Maybe, it depends on what F1 is. If F1 represents are part of the system, say a valve hand wheel, I would suggest you model this as a rigid element with the appropriate weight, then this weight will be part of "W" and you won't need F1. If F1 represents a load, then does it act all the time or only some time? If it acts all the time then this load primative should be part of the Sustained load case. If it acts some of the time (like a relief thrust load) then it is a component of an Occasional load case.
