Yes. If you set a group's backgroundBehavior property to true, it will be
placed on new cards automatically as in HyperCard.

Yes. Create a rectangle graphic and set its properties as follows:
  topColor should be "172,172,172"
  bottomColor should be "white"
  showBorder should be true
  borderWidth should be 1
  height should be 2
This will create a graphic that has the proper appearance (gray with white
underneath) for an incised line.

Not yet (only within a field). It might be possible to script something for
this, though the appearance of the drag/drop process would not quite be
standard.
