I will only address the last item. It is already possible to do a topmenu. See here: http://giffmex.org/5notes.htm
The three tiddlers I adjusted were $:/TopSideBar, $:/core/ui/PageTemplate<http://giffmex.org/5notes.htm#%24%3A%2Fcore%2Fui%2FPageTemplate>and $:/StyleSheet <http://giffmex.org/5notes.htm#%24%3A%2FStyleSheet> Cheers!
