AFrom whatever you have mentioned I do not see harassment. Was he making dirty gestures while asking you the questions?
If no then it could be construed as general comment.I too ask my new team members about their drinking preferences. It helps me plan outings. If fewer people drink then we choose a restaurant otherwise a pub.
For the third instance, the posh case could be made on your male colleagues. They mentioned the joke to you. You should have told them that these comments are inappropriate and make you uncomfortable.
Also, did you move cities for the job. It happened with me when I move to say Mumbai, the women colleagues were more open and spoke their mind. Hence, there was more banter. See if the city, company has a less conservative culture.
I am probably trivialising your situation. Better note down the details of the incidents. Especially about the male colleagues sharing the joke with you. It is the only instance of sexual harassment. But on the colleagues, not the manager.
APerspective
We had bachelors living in our society. They partied late into the night. Had 10-15 friends over every weekend.
As the booze flowed the noise kept increasing. Even after repeated requests this became a weekly occurrence. One fine day the party people pushed the uncle who was asking to keep the music down. Police was called ‘the booze’ party fought the police too. Were beaten black and blue thrown out of the society by dawn. No out society has a no bachelors rule.
