That is supposed to be one inch wide. (I know that one inch is 25.4mm,
but the conversion was incorrectly done, and hasn't been changed since
then.)

It is hard wired into LibO. :(
I've seen a code snippet that enables users to change it in OOo, but you
have to recompile OOo to take advantage of it.
This should be something that can be changed at ">Tools >Options >Calc
>General".
Whilst changing the column size on the default template should work,
experience has shown that to be inconsistent.

You have to switch from a metric to an English locale.
And then restart LibO.

This depends upon the file manager that is used.

You have to use cell styles.
Cell styles are neither difficult, nor complicated to use. However, for
reasons I don't understand, people are reluctant to use them.
