In the US many restaurants close on Thanksgiving, but some will be open
and most likely offering a 'traditional' Thanksgiving dinner. Your
choices will be limited, but hotels with restaurants will of course be
serving meals. You might send an email to the city of Naples tourism
website to inquire about restaurant options, because you'll almost
certainly need an early reservation.

As to your first question, most things close on Thanksgiving, so an
afternoon with a good meal isn't a bad bet. Bring your leftovers back to
your hotel (you will surely have a lot) to have as cold snacks later. Buy
your wine the day before, or bring a bottle with you, as most purveyors
will be closed.

You might enjoy watching some of the Macy's parade in NYC on television,
and some American college football bowl games later on. Or not. In fact,
if you enjoy sports you could seek out a local high school championship
game - they are usually settled on Thanksgiving morning. It's certainly
not high culture, but it is Americana and will be a high energy event.
Wherever you sit, be sure to cheer on the team whose uniforms match the
colors around you.

It won't be hard to find some fun, but it's realistic to expect most
places to be closed for the day.

Aside from the comments in the other posts-- Of all the holidays in the year
Thanksgiving is the one that will most likely shut down everything. Some
restaurants will be open but not many--it is the one holiday that is
considered a "Family" day, more so than Christmas, and everyone wants it
off.
Football (not soccer) is the big event all day....and all night.
