Hi, and welcome.

I'm kinda, sorry, n00b too. Can answer only couple of questions.

No. Only phone application can be used in portrait mode, by default. I think there's some experimental shortcut for the browser, MicroB, but I'm not certain. Couple of applications also work in portrait mode, but that depends how the developer wrote it.

For now there's no way for this. The on-screen keyboard is also querty. It can be turned on in Settings->Text input->Use virtual keyboard, and will only work when the physical keyboard is closed. Don't know why this is needed, didn't use it much.
