I would suggest you to use "Time Select" field type (http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/time-select) as it stores the time value as integer to orderby would work correctly with parameter orderby="start_date".

I hear what you're saying about automating but in reality just how many holidays do you honour? It's not going to take too long to do it manually.
I would create a channel for holidays and create an entry for each holiday with the entry and expiration dates set.
Then on your template use a channel entries tag pair with show_future_entries="no"
In theory ...

Try making this a global variable in your config file, then you can do all the date checking in PHP. Go to http://www.epochconverter.com/ and get the start and end date of when you're closed, then add this to your config.php file.
if (time() > 1387497600 && time() < 1388016000) {
// Use this in your template {hours_open} and it'll show if ...

You can try MX Calc
{exp:mx_calc expression="{current_time} - 600 "}
{if entry_date > {calc_result}}
....
{/if}
{/exp:mx_calc}
but still, this is not good solution because whats happens if user will refresh page many times in accepted timeframe? The perfect solution is made small plugin which will do indication that for current entry message was ...

Carefully "unescape" the variables you want to be cached, so e.g.
{stash:nocache}
<div>
{if {current_time format="%U"} - {/stash:nocache}{event_time format="%U"}{stash:nocache} < -86400}
{/stash:nocache}{facebook_link}{stash:nocache}
{/if}
{if {current_time format="%U"} - {/stash:nocache}{event_time format="%U"}{stash:nocache} < 86400 &...

AFAIK there is no automatic way to do this kind of time zone adjustment in EE.
EE stores times relative to the server's location timezone, or relative a different timezone if you specify it in the CP. Dynamically modifying the server's default timezone on the fly is not a sensible option, so whatever you do will require you to modify the times shown to the ...

You're on the right track, but no bracing and formatting is needed; date variables will output timestamps without formatting, and comparisons can be made properly between integer types. So you can use a simpler:
{if (current_time - child_dob) >= 63072000}
Do this
{if:else}
Do That
{/if}

jrothafer's troubleshooting suggestion will tell you a lot. If that looks good, try putting the tags in single quotes like so:
{if '{current_time format="%h"}' >= '{branch_hours:opening_hour}' && '{current_time format="%h"}' <= '{branch_hours:closing_hour}' } <span class="open-now text-right">Open Now</span> {/if}

I think, you would like to show the Date (like day, month name) in different languages. Right?
If you are using language pack for multi-language then you can change those into language file "system\expressionengine\language\english\core_lang.php". This is for English, you can do same for other language.

This plugin may be of help to you as well. http://gotolow.com/addons/low-events
One other possible idea is store it in military time and then date format on display: http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/templates/date_variable_formatting.html
