Various folks use solutions that work for them. On my laptops, I
often find that I hit <F1> accidentally when stabbing for <esc>,
so I just remap them:
:inoremap <f1> <esc>
:nnoremap <f1> <esc>
... (for other mapping modes)
This allows me to mash in the upper left corner of my keyboard
with less need for accuracy.
Alternatively, some folks use control+[ which sends vim the same
character as the <esc>. I use this occasionally depending on the
keyboard.
Lastly, some folks remap an existing vim functionality such as
the comma or semi-colon to serve as <esc> However I happen to
regularly use both of those keys, so that has never appealed to me.

Can't help you much here. When I've needed to do debugging, I
usually use "screen" and just flip between the two sessions.

The first one can be done with
:inoremap { {}<left>
The second one, I'm not sure I 100% understand (not using
Eclipse), but it sounds like you just want
:inoremap } }<left>
