Basically all of those are modifications you can find at this forum :)
Btw, the narrowness is the "Content Table Width" when you edit your style

most of this is fairly complicated if you try and do it your self... just have a lok through the Template Mods and Postbits and find one you like :) and see how they work and how to make your own, then make it and share it here :) easy as that (well ok not very easy)

Your problems could be because you're running XMB instead of vBulletin...

Now you need to learn some of the vBulletin Variables, and incorpirate that with HTML knowledge and you should be fine with templates.
