You can't. This will be possible in 1.2.0

Do you mean multi-column ?
It is supported by latex, but not by lyx.

press ctrl+tab at the end of the 2nd box, and the 3rd box will reappear.
BTW, this bug has been fixed in 1.2.0

Yes.

\usepackage{longdiv} in the preamble (longdiv.sty is attached)
and then \longdiv{10}{5}.

It depends on what you want to do.

There are several suitable fonts.
For example,
\mathbb{N} with \usepackage{bbold} in the preamble (or enable "use ams math"
in the document dialog")
\mathbbm{N} with \usepackage{bbm} in the preamble
\mathds{N} with \usepackage{dsfont} in the preamble
