そこまでせんでも…
a/ I get the gist of what he's saying, but what is せん? Is it some colloquial word?
b/ Is ぐう here the sound of an empty stomach?

Does 激辛 mean "hot-tempered"?

3. オメー is the Kanto colloquial form of お前, correct?
1a. せんでも = しなくても

When people from western half of Japan say 「せんでも」 it is just normal speech for them. When Kanto folks say it, however, it is often for dramatic effects.

1b. Exactly.

2. Precisely. The word, which is new, is more often used to mean "super-spicy"

3. Right. More vulgar than just colloquial.
