Yes and no, you can specify indent string in "Code Browsing > BlueInk Pretty
Printing",
however when you press "tab" it will still insert tab. This setting only
applies to autoformatting. (ctrl+shift+f).
As for class definition, the implementation is in ClassDescription>>definition,
where you can see things like
aStream cr; tab; nextPutAll: 'instanceVariableNames: ';
store: self instanceVariablesString.
so you would need to change >aStream cr; tab< into >aStream cr; nextPutAll:
'your indentation spaces'<
Or you can do that en masse...
newCode := (ClassDescription>>#definition) sourceCode copyReplaceAll: 'tab;'
with: ''' '';'.
ClassDescription compile: newCode.
And add that code into a StartupScript or somewhere.

As a bonus in answer to "3." you can also see how to dynamically compile a
method. :)
