I sincerely disagree. I'm just a home user of Mac (my work is all Windoze)
and I keep TRYING to like IE 5 for the mac, but it bombs out, locks up, and
is a whole lot slower than 4.5. Each time they come out with a new 5.0
version I try it out, and each time I've ended up going back to 4.5.
As to your problems, for #1, have you added a "tabindex" property to your
form fields? I thought that IE respected those.
For problem #2, I think the answer is much more complex. To "force" a
browser to have this kind of behavior, you may need to use Javascript Events
to watch their keystrokes and select the item from the menu.

IE 4.5 Mac has so many problems, that I just ignore it... I don't
consider it a viable browser.
IE 5.0 Mac has much fewer problems... there is no reason to stay with 4.5
