Before the match, Hogan told Hall and Nash not to get involved. So yes.
Was Hulk Hogan's face turn at Wrestlemania 18 fully scripted and planned?
or was it (to some extent?) organic and spontaneous?
how about the hulking up during the match?
how about Nash and Hall attack after the match?

Yep.
Mcmahon asked Hogan to bring his red and yellow gear, informed Hall he was losing to Austin which killed the NWO angle and they did pre tapes with Hogan saying he needs to do this by himself…
Nonsensical last minute booking that contradicted months of storylines and killed their biggest angle since Rock/Austin the previous year.

Yupp and I remember the next night on Raw Hogan's titantron lights were red and yellow ( despite him still wearing the black and white hollywood gear)Yep.

Hulk Hogan is Vince's creation. He didn't want WCW's Hollywood version in his company.
Hulk Hogan was not Vince's creation. It was Hogan's on Vince's dad gave him his name fired him. Hogan used the name in AWA as well.Hulk Hogan is Vince's creation. He didn't want WCW's Hollywood version in his company.
When I seen that backstage this week, I knew it would be a gif that will be used for many years on here and abroad. It's perfect.I bet you correct people's grammar too.

I’d imagine so. The only audible was how much Hogan acted like a face and Rock as a heel during the match. The actual scripted face turn happened after the match when Hall and Nash attacked Hogan and got cleared out.
The face turn was planned. What happened during the match was two men getting a sense of the moment and calling an audible and having Hogan play the face during it. It worked seamlessly.
I believe Vince saw money in Hogan when he returned but it would be as a babyface.
NWO was a WCW product and just like Bret Hart did not fit in WCW, the NWO would not have fit in WWE. WCW was a southern promotion, a bit more wild and chaotic. WWE was a northeastern promotion, very buttoned up and clean cut for the most part
For all of Vince's faults he's usually pretty well organized while WCWs iteration of the NWO just wasn't organized to the degree Vince typically prefers to operate. Vince did employ some of NWOs principles when he created the Nexus but it was still much better organized and micromanaged than the NWO was
I once read that Vince wasn't a fan of Taker's biker gimmick, which would have fit wonderfully in WCW coincidentally. When Taker agreed to work the Deadman again gimmick in 2004, one of his conditions upon doing so was that he be allowed to work part time.

Vince has always been like this, like when Nash came back from injury in 2003 and Vince made him Diesel again, even having shirts that said Big Daddy cool on them.I believe Vince saw money in Hogan when he returned but it would be as a babyface.

When Hogan came back in 2002 Vince refused to call him Hollywood Hogan lol, I know the graphics and announcers referred to him as Hollywood Hulk Hogan though. The night after X8 Vince had Hogan's Titantron lights be red and yellow despite being in black and white attire
lol.
Vince kept telling Jr and King to call Scott Halls finishing move "RAZOR's Edge" in 2002 lol
anything WCW in Vince's mind is bad and WWF is good
