How do you find out the temps beneath the surface?

Let's just hope it doesn't go over that Loop Current...there's a lot of energy waiting to be unleashed there.

How much do sea surface temperatures matter?

Is a sst of 80 degrees which goes down 200 feet more potent than a sst of 90 degrees, but 200 feet under it's 75 degrees?

I doubt it. 80 degrees is about the low end to support a typical tropical system.
