re: Interior of cabinets sweating.

That's a big job in itself to remove the cabinets and then insulate the walls, only to put the cabinets back.
That kind of depends on what the exterior of the house is clad in. If wooden weatherboards or Hardie board, then he can have a contractor come in, remove one of the planks near the top of the wall and shoot insulation in the cavity to insulate it.
I'm sure they'd have ways to not be too invasive if a brick exterior, but I'm not familiar with that process.
Then again, if the cabinets don't go all the way to the ceiling, they could access the void to fill with insulation from that area by drilling holes in the sheetrock and then patching them and painting the area to match.
My last choice would be to remove the cabinets and sheetrock behind them to insulate and then new rock and re-install the cabinets.

I have similar problem with cabinets in upstairs bathroom, on exterior wall of brick house. I know the house walls are not well-insulated, and we have it cold at night in that part of the house. I've tried using DampRid in the cabinet, running a dehumidifier, and leaving the cabinet doors open...I've come to the conclusion that my best bet is to spray a clear sealer on the bricks every few years, to minimize the moisture migrating across the porous bricks and mortar. Other option would be painting bricks.
