Regarding your question about focus:
I just added the following to my rc.lua:
awful.hooks.arrange.register(function (screen)
if awful.layout.get(screen) ~= awful.layout.suit.magnifier then
client.focus = awful.mouse.client_under_pointer()
end
end)
which focuses the client under the pointer unless the layout is magnifier (it's
just annoying there because you have to keep the pointer in the center window
at all times and it wouldn't yield any benefits there)
