2. Task name to left of bar
3. end date format mm/dd to right of bar
4. Milestone has #2 and #3
1. You can put group titles on top of (overlaid) the bar, but not above the bar. To do this, go to View > View Options and you'll see a Task Labels section to the right that allows you to select which labels can be applied to the task/group/milestones.

2. Go to the View Options panel and set the task names to appear on the left side of the bar.

3. As Liz said, the date format follows System Preferences so you'll need to go into System Preferences > International > Formats and click on Customize in the Dates section.

4. Milestone labels can be set up in the View Options panel as well.
