Yeah it would be safe if you are looking it from your Laptop only one thing can happen is youtube or google can ask you to verify your account via sms or other verification

If someone really wanted to, they could monitor traffic going over the public WiFi network. But YouTube uses HTTPS, so that shouldn't be a huge problem.

If you're really concerned, I suggest using a secure VPN, or having a computer set up back home that you can SSH into.

Yes it is safe. Like hackmebaby said, you could use a VPN just to be safe but even without one you should be good.
