Answer 1

This is probably most easily achieved by using the appendix package, or the memoir class.

If you don't want to use a prepackaged solution, you'll have to hack the sectioning commands. When I needed to do this for my dissertation, I cloned the report class, and edited until I made the margins lady happy. What you're looking for is the definition of the \addcontentsline macro.
