I've been doing some research, and I've stumbled into something that I'm sure has very simple answers, but I can't seem to find them or wrap my head around it. When wearing an uchikake witha furisode, where do the furisode sleeves sit? And I know you do not wear an obi over an uchikake, so how is it fastened? Sorry if these are silly questions. Thank you for your help!

Hi! There are no silly questions don't worry :)

When you put on an uchikake with a furisode, both are supposed to have matching sleeves lenght. The furisode sleeves are then simply slid inside the uchikake's, much as juban sleeves slid into kimono ones - think matriochka dolls but made of sleeves ;)

For photoshoots or bridal wear, all sleeves are sometimes also pinned into place so they do not peek/slip out.

Uchikake are indeed meant to be left opened, and so they are not closed with an obi.

In Edo period, it was a garment worn by upper class women, which means trailing hem was not supposed to be an issue for everyday life. When those rich women did truly need to hike their hems up, they would hold them up with their hands, or use ties, like kumihimo braids.

Nowadays, uchikake are mostly only used for bridal looks. To keep it nicely set for photoshoot etc., dressers can use kôrin belts (a type of elastic belt with two clips), sometimes pimped with nice colours and/or adorn ends (golden, patterned, etc).

The video below shows a shiromuku (white wedding kimono) worn with an iro-uchikake (colored coat). From 21:55, you can see how the uchikake is put on:
