I think this functionality exists already. If you add a summary to your
blog entry, the summary will be displayed on the main page with a "read
more" link to the full post. If you don't use summaries, you could
alter your theme to something like this (in your _day.vm template):
#if($entry.displayContent.length() > 500>
$entry.displayContent.substring(0,500) [Read More...]
#else
$entry.displayContent
#end
Although, if you use markup in your posts this might have some weird
side-effects. In that case you might want to override
getDisplayContent().

Yes. In your theme, edit _day.vm
Replace
<p class="entryTitle">$entry.title</p>
with
<p class="entryTitle">
<a href="$url.entry($entry.anchor)">$entry.title</a>
</p>

Yes. There is a section in the template manual that explains how to do
a tag could.
