This message is created by Pine or UW-IMAP (if you use that).
Mutt doesn't need it, but Pine and/or UW-IMAP will likely re-create
it.

You can use my_hdr, but since you have Mutt 1.2, you could also just
set $realname and $from (the latter should have the desired email
address and nothing else, the name part goes into $realname).

You can do that with Mutt, but it depends what purpose you want..
If you want automatic filtering of incoming emails, then you want to
do it with procmail. If you just want to save those messages from a
folder, because you want to save them, then you can just Mutt message
tagging and then tag-save.
T~f address@domain<enter>
;smailbox1
T - tag messages matcing pattern
"~f address@domain" - the pattern, all messages from "address@domain"
; - apply next command to all tagged messages
s - save
"mailbox1" the mailbox name
But like I said, this is not suitable for automatic filteration of
incoming mail.

By default, Mutt puts all files/folders in the current directory, the
directory where you were in when you started Mutt.
You can use the = (or +) prefix to save to the directory set in $folder.
Eg. if $folder is "~/Mail", then =mailbox1 would be "~/Mail/mailbox1".

That depends on the folder format, but the "mbox" (default) format is a
simple file yes.
