#1 org-ref does an ok job with this. It isn't as good at html output as for latex output (because latex has a dedicated citation processor via bib(la)tex, and org-ref has a hackery for generating mostly ok entries from the bibtex file, for the common types I have used.). For example, you often need to escape things like % and & in bibtex, and there is limited support for removing those in org-ref. Also, org-ref currently does not support latex in the bibtex entries for html output. There is potential for this by replacing fragments with images, but I probably won't look into that until the summer. The output style is user-customizable, but currently somewhat limited. I may look into improving this over the summer to make it more flexible.
Cannot comment on #2. I solve this by manually by putting both figures in a single image file, and using a single caption with a) and b) in the caption text. #3 I just pushed a small enhancement to org-ref that makes the ref links point to a #id in the html document. this works for figures at least. It will take some post processing to change the link from the label to a number, and maybe a custom exporter to do that. A temporary solution is to label your figures with numbers, e.g. #+LABEL: fig:1. It isn't pretty, but it would be functional.
