Answer 1

If you name your alternate layout devise.html.erb, then the gem's controllers will naturally use it, without needing to be asked. Saves some code.

Answer 2

You don't need to handle the layouts by your self, just do:

rails generate devise:views

Then, look at devise folder at views folder, you will see all the forms you need to customize

Answer 3

Add this lines of code to your application.rb:

config.to_prepare do
    Devise::SessionsController.layout "your_layout_name"
    Devise::RegistrationsController.layout "your_layout_name"
    Devise::ConfirmationsController.layout "your_layout_name"
    Devise::UnlocksController.layout "your_layout_name"
    Devise::PasswordsController.layout "your_layout_name"
end

If you want the same layout for all Devise views, except for when the user is editing its data, you could have something like this:

config.to_prepare do
  Devise::SessionsController.layout "your_layout_name"
  Devise::RegistrationsController.layout proc{ |controller| user_signed_in? ? "application" : "your_layout_name" }
  Devise::ConfirmationsController.layout "your_layout_name"
  Devise::UnlocksController.layout "your_layout_name"            
  Devise::PasswordsController.layout "your_layout_name"        
end
