My first question:
If I use journald.conf to, say (hypothetical values for now):
* have the system start a new journald file each day, and
* delete journald files once they're a month old,
would I still need to do B above, or will A automatically cause the clean-out of all journald files more than a month old (maybe the next day or after a reboot)?

As soon as you restart journald, it will automatically clean the logs to fit the new settings.

Second question:
What is the preferred way of changing the journald configuration?  That is, is there some GUI or tool for that, or do I simply edit "/etc/systemd/journald.conf" using my favorite editor (vi)?

No gui, it's just a text file.

Third question:
My impression is that approach B is only a temporary fix; "/var/log/journal/" would eventually get huge again.  Am I correct?

Yes.
