Try to have a look at the TX fonts, which are supposed to provide a
somwhat better appearance than pslatex. I do not remember whether the
greek letters are upright.

I think it is intended, but you can change this by plaing with
geometry settings in Layout>Documents|Paper.

The default for report class is to open on any page. The book class
opens on right by default. You can change the behaviour of the report
class add "openright" in the extra option field of Layout>Document
