well as for the first 3 the easiest option would be to have the "random quote on forumhome" ... and change a few things in it like "quote" to "news"... and remove the two links which allow users to add a quote and view the full list of quotes.. (the reason for this being if its news on your site then only admins should really be posting in there so they can do their posting of news thru the admin cp)
then in the forumhome_quote template it creates the quote box u will see on the main forums page... then just add your marquee tags where the quote will go (which will be your news)...
as for only certain usergroups i have no idea how to do that...
