I use bluetooth when I am in my car, and also for long calls with clients even when I am at home -- but I try to turn it off when not in use. Battery life is a tricky thing to break down into contributing factors because there are just so many variables. On top of that the seemingly 'adaptive' behavior of the battery calibration on these phones practically forces you to wait a few days or charge cycles to find out what impact any new ROM will actually have on your day-to-day battery life. Bluetooth can definitely be a big power hit, but it shouldn't be something you have to compromise on these days.
Anyways, about your questions...
1. N/A for me -- nothing to complain about here
2. N/A for me -- nothing to write home about here
3. Use the 'Hands Free' profile which is for general phone use and disable any others such as 'Wireless Stereo' which your headset may support but isn't needed for calls. This may help a little bit, but don't expect a miracle here.
