My main trick for moving items between columns on a board that has a lot of
columns is to zoom my browser out so far that the text is microscopic (and
all the columns are visible). Then use the browser find feature (Ctrl-F) to
highlight the task you want to move, so you can see it. Then drag it. For
me, that's easier than coordinating the "scroll while dragging" operation.

To create any project (sprint or not), you can either have project creation
privileges yourself, or you can just request the project be created. If you
only want a couple new projects, you probably don't need create project
privileges.

Also, note that a project can have a board without being a sprint, and that
includes having a sprint-like project (with a board) that is not a sprint.
Sprints turn on the story point estimate field, and display the asssigned
user differently. If you don't need those features, a non-sprint project
works as well.
