I'm not home right now so this is from memory, but here are the basic
responses:

Sync/unsync with the IR remote is straightforward: Settings >
Synchronize > [choose player]. Unfortunately I don't remember which
"direction" that sync works because I don't use that method often any
more (I prefer The Synchronizer, see below). But try it and it will
become obvious.

Via the web ui, you should be able to select the 3rd player you want to
add from the drop-down on the upper-right, and then go to sync (same
drop-down menu) and add it to the other 2 that are sync'd.

Plugins: I like The Synchronizer. I have defined several sync-groups
that make sense given the way our house is laid out and how we use our
SBs. Each group has a master and one or more players sync'd to it, so
it's clear which playlist will get picked up when I sync them. For the
shorthand names of the sync group I put the master player's name first
and in uppercase, with other player names following in lowercase or
mixed case. The Synchronizer's setup pages aren't works of art, but
they are fully functional -- it's less complicated than it looks.
Disclaimer: 99.9% of the time that I use The Synchronizer it is with
the SB Controller, which I notice you don't have. I don't know how
smoothly choosing a sync group works with the IR remote or web ui, but
I expect it's fairly smooth.

Personally I always prefer to control volume from within the room where
the music is playing, but for controlling volume of another player via
the IR remote you should look at the Other Players plugin. As you are
probably aware you can sync the volume level of all players (ie, they
all go up and down together) via the standard settings. And SyncOptions
gives you the possibility of sync'ing volume but with different base
levels for different players.
