Which is why things like images of what you're looking for / usually wear can get you better recommendations, but hope this is a good start for you

The cut of the coat will be somewhat tied to the cut of whatever else you are wearing, especially trousers

Lots of good wool coat options. Look at something like a balmacaan or duffle and can be hard wearing

I agree, I would prioritize a down parka of some sort first that can handle heavy weather then a wool coat second. You take your coat off when you get into your destination anyway

Do you mind giving some idea of what sort of winter weather you are dealing with, which styles you are interested in general, etc? You'll probably get responses you find more helpful/useful with a bit more detail on what you're looking for
There are tons of cool coat options and really no limit to the kinds of styles

Is this coat too formal looking?
Honestly around that same price range I feel like vintage / surplus stores are a good bet. You can probably find something cheaper that's 100% wool with a cool cut and try it on in person to make sure the fit works. They've been making coats in these styles for ages so there are tons of them

Is this coat too formal looking?
Only thing I would look out for is the material mix on the coat. If you're looking for something warm for winter you might be disappointed

Is this coat too formal looking?
You can easily dress a coat like that down. Really depends on what sort of lifestyle you live though - "formal" and "casual" are extremely context dependent. Hard to say without any idea of what sort of life you're living or style you're into
If you're in high school or something I could see it being too formal of a coat, but if you're an adult who does more than goes to football games it should be fine
