Yes that might affect your flowering cycle a bit. I had the same problem with my first grow and it added about 3-4 weeks to the flowering cycle.

As long as you tighten up the light leaks when you go to flower you'll be ok, but if you seal that closet it's going to get even hotter in there
A temporary fix for your heat would be to buy a big bag of ice - stick it in a bucket, or cooler, and blow a fan on it. That will bring the temp down 5 degrees or so.

There's no easy way. I ended up modding a $99 window unit to cool my grow, after all else failed to keep my temps under 90 degrees.

Light leaks can cause hermaphrodites and even keep the plants in Veg.
