#1 not sure. I've seen discussion about this before on Mathgroup --
you can search for them -- but they were for PDF.
#2 Make a duplicate of your Title style and go Cell > Show Expression
and change the duplicate to e.g.
Cell[StyleData["Title", "Printout"],
CellMargins->{{10, Inherited}, {10, 300}}]
#3 I have seen this before but unfortunately do not know how to fix
this. (i.e. it doesn;t seem to be controlled by Alignment or
TextJustification)
sorry I coudn't be more help.
