I guess that tradition, and common sense, trump the rules, or lack of rules, in this case.
Casebook 10.4.1B certainly implies that teams going to their dressing rooms at halftime is authorized. Just don't disrespect the officials while doing so. As for the coach taking his team out in the hall after the first quarter, theoretically, I guess he could say he just wanted his players to be able to remove their jerseys (without being penalized: 10.4.1C) to cool off a bit while also to hear some "choice" words of instruction.
