2) I was always scared by explanation of \showlayout on texshow:

A) params: (\paperwidth=\backspace+\makeupwidth+\cutspace) backspace => width of inner margin cutspace => width of outer margin (if 0 then = backspace!) "...
and so on. It looks like a program, not manual, and I never understood it, despite it explains very important concept, missed on Wiki -- 'fit' and 'middle' options. Can someone throw a light on these?
There are some nice examples in the context manual. Different layout settings and how the typeset page looks. Also try the t-layout package by Patrick. It helped me a lot to see how the layout will look like. Aditya
