First, to all who responded, Thank you. Summary follows: Q1: (Adding Opening Balances after setting up the account) Yes, using transactions is the obvious solution. Clearly, I am an accounting newby as well as a Gnucash newby.
Q2: (Whether I can keep Equities under Liabilities) I was told by the previous treasurer (who is a finance guy) that this is the accepted International (as opposed to GAAP) practice. Perhaps I misunderstood, but I'm reverting back to keeping Equity separate, because that is what Gnucash likes. Q3: (How to order my accounts in my favored arbitrary order) It appears that numbering them and then ordering by number is the only way.
