All of the things you mention can be redefined fairly easily. You might
want to look at the koma-script classes, which have a lot of built-in
customization possibilities. The documentation is very complete. You'll
find it in scrguien.pdf (English) or scrguide.pdf (German).

This is trivial: \renewcommand{\chaptername}{}.

Something like:
\renewcommand{\theequation}{\thesection.\arabic{equation}} should do the
trick. You will want to make it a bit more complicated if you have
unnumbered sections.
