1. replace the entire template with

<div class="smallfont" align="$stylevar[left]">
	<div style="clear:both">
		<if condition="$show['icon']"><img class="inlineimg" src="$icon[iconpath]" alt="$icon[title]" border="0" /></if>
		<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=newpost&amp;t=$lastpostinfo[lastthreadid]" title="<phrase 1="$lastpostinfo[lastthread]">$vbphrase[go_first_unread_in_thread_x]</phrase>"><strong>$lastpostinfo[trimthread]</strong></a>
		<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=lastpost&amp;t=$lastpostinfo[lastthreadid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_last_post]" border="0" /></a>
	</div>
</div>

2. yes thats right

3. oops, my bad, that template doesn't exist in 3.5.x (I was on my 3.6.0 dev board when I was checking this out)

In template postbit (or postbit_legacy depending on which you use)

FIND (right near the top)

<div id="edit$post[postid]" style="padding:0px 0px $stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px">

REPLACE WITH

<div id="edit$post[postid]" style="padding:0px 0px 0px 0px">
