"As for dress, I assume that dress slacks, an open-collared dress shirt, and dress shoes are appropriate for my sons, age 8 and 6? Also, will I be too casual if I don't wear a jacket and tie?"
Your dress, as far as I can tell, is a matter for you and your family to decide. I've seen workingmen in work uniform, laborers in denim and folks in "Sunday go to meeting" best.
WRT to chapel veil, I am uncertain if that is part of Church Law or simply customary, but I have rarely seen a women in pants or without headcover at a Tridentine Mass. At the NO services, well I've never seen a bathing suit, but just about everything else.

Ain't that the truth!

At the NO services, well I've never seen a bathing suit, but just about everything else. Today I saw a young girl (about 14) at Mass wearing cheerleading (spandex) shorts with the words, "SPANK ME" on them. And there was an altarette wearing flip-flops.
