This is not currently implemented in Docutils/Sphinx. It would be easy to
achieve for LaTeX output, but in HTML this requires a transform that
extracts the section/table/theroem/... number and uses it as link text.
See the test
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/sandbox/latex-variants/tests/figure-reference.txt
for an example how this works with Docutils. (Not tested with the Sphinx
LaTeX writer.)

This is a long standing TODO list item.

There is some support with the external bibstuff add-on
http://code.google.com/p/bibstuff/
and with `Zotero plain`

You can already configure the float placement with the help of the "float"
package - globally with e.g. ::
\usepackage{float}
\floatplacement{figure}{tb}
in the LaTeX preamble, locally with raw latex like::
.. raw:: latex
\floatplacement{figure}{tb}
See
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/latex.html#figure-placement

Instead of merging the .rst files, you can simply ``.. include::`` them
into a "master" document. Then, you might also consider using Docutils
instead of Sphinx for the LaTeX generation.
