Answer 1

This is not a CSS issue,

body, p { width: 100%; }

Doesnt seem to work, please see this screenshot.

However if you apply a background to the paragraph, it does then span fully.

This seems like a hack but I cant find any other solution.

 background: url('');

Not sure if that will display a missing image x icon on some browsers,
alternatively you could use an empty png.
