#1. Initial page lookups are really slow. When I enter a website it will

As a test, have you tried using your ISP's caching DNS servers instead, and does it make any difference?

#2. Squid is active and working but hit rate has been zero. It's been
running a week now. Prior install I would average a really poor .5 -2%.
I'm not sure what to do. I'm on Google over load now trying to find the
answers and so far my config seems to be in line with general
recommendations.

A great many websites these days rely on dynamic content and send cache-control headers to prevent proxies like Squid from caching things. You can play with Squid's settings to ignore some cache-control headers, but obviously there are risks of delivering your clients out of date content by doing that.

Kind regards,
