layout->paragraph in floats currently produces not-so-nice output (additional
space between figure and caption; this is fixed in the developement tree for
1.4). For now, you better use ERT \centering{} (at the beginning of the
caption.

If you use the document option "tablecaptionabove" (layout->document->extra
options), KOMA will adjust the space for table captions. You still have to
put the captions above the table yourself, though.
(alternatively, you can use the layouts "captionabove" and "captionbelow").
