1. (This is the only major issue.) Our letterhead includes logos on
both the left side of the paper and along the top. Dealing with the
top is not a problem, but for the life of me I cannot find a way in
komascript to make the left margin two inches on the first page
(which will be letterhead) and one inch on every other page (plain
bond).
The answer that I got is that this is not easily possible, "because the
size of the print area can only be changed between pages, i.e. when a
\newpage command can be used. That is because there is no possibility
to recalculate an already split paragraph, and exactly that would be
necessary when the print area on the next page is supposed to change."
If I understand that correctly, TeX splits a paragraph into lines
before it begins to print it. On the next page, these lines may then be
too short or too long. (Or so I interpreted this -- corrections
welcome.)
Why not use the same wide margin on all pages (no one was ever punished
for using too much white space -- well, unless maybe it was for a
dissertation)? Or do as my wife does at her Uni -- she uses letterhead
that has only the logo pre-printed and prints the "right margin
letterhead stuff" herself (its all in her template).
Sorry I couldn't help more. (The other two items I think you can find in
the manual.)

Kevin,
Thanks for all the research on this! I'll see if I can adapt your
\ifthenelse hack to the komascript letter class. At least its
comforting to know this is not trivial (and I'm not missing something
obvious).
