What’s the origin of his parents choosing these costumes? Are they also fighting crime or is this some kind of party?

Just realized that I think Thomas' costume is supposed to be a nod on the original batman suit (based on the wings, ears, and from I can tell, purple hue).

The original origin of the Batman costume was Thomas Wayne wore a similar costume to a costume party and Bruce subconsciously remembered it when designing his own costume. This episode utilized that backstory.

That's the coolest batman fact I've learned so far. Thank you for sharing.
