Templates should occur in the various menus. I don't know why they would not be
there for you.

What role are you using? In the Template preferences they should basically the
file extension for the templates themselves, and some custom role appropriate
for the file (like Main Page) for the files.

No, you cannot further organize them in the menu, except for just ordering them.

The Cite Drawer is something different and parallel to the template system, it
is basically a historic remnant from before there were templates. You can add
strings by just editing in that table, adding and removing items using the
buttons, quite standard.
