In the cartoon, the symbiot also formed his regular clothes (or other 'disguises'), so when he got rid of it he was left in only boxers.
Yep same in the comic at least for awhile. Also gave him the ability for endless webshooting without having to wear webshooters. Of course they dropped the shooters in the films anyhow.
the symbiot being the spidey costume is also why his black costume is very similar to how venom appears. Think of the venom costume without the crazy face and fangs (just a normal head) and in the same build as spidey and you have spideys black cosutme. I do remember hearing/reading that spidey had made an actual black costum in design of the one he had with the symbiot but dont really know the details on that (if he used it, for how long, my guess would be if he used it once venom showed up he went back to the red/blue)

You're spot-on. The free floating symbiote was held prisoner by the Fantatic Four for awhile but escaped and stalked Spidey. For a few months afterward he did have a cloth black costume. When the symbiote found Brock and became Venom Spidey went back to his original threads (thanks to fan outcry at the time actually).
