In answer to your questions, I think children are influenced more by violence than nudity as violence can be imitable whereas nudity is completely normal and most children will see it at home, 'in the flesh', so to speak!
In terms of language, things have moved on a great deal since I was young and words which were frowned on are now commonplace in family TV shows, such as The Simpsons. When it comes to swear words such as the 'F word', shit and so on, I think the BBFC are about right when it comes to their use in films which are classified PG, 12A, 15 and 18.
