Set the "gear-ratio" attribute of the propeller tag.  This is the
reduction ratio, so typical values will be less than 1.0.

The min-rpm and max-rpm attributes define the range of the blue lever.
These are the speeds to which the propeller will seek; it may not be
able to achieve them in practice.  The documentation for these was,
er, wrong.  I'll fix that.

Sure thing.  Use a negative moment value. :) No joke: that will have
exactly the effect of a counter-rotating engine.  The DC-3 uses this
trick for the starboard engine, for example.  I'll add some
documentation for that as well.
