This is a `feature' of most LaTeX document classes. To avoid that, use
a Date paragraph with just a protected space, or add
\date{}
to Layout->LaTeX Preamble.

It is not so easy to do in the printed output. If all you want is the
screen output, just make a copy of ...share/lyx/layout/stdclass.inc to
~/.lyx/layout/stdclass.inc and , in the section `Style Standard',
change
Align Block
to
Align Left
I am not sure whether it will work as you intend, though.

This is something that has already been mentionned. I'm not sure of
the reason why things are like that...

This is a known problem, which would be unfortunately hard to solve
with the current code.
