1) I would use a calendar quite honestly. If there are tasks that you need to get done in order to attend the meeting, then a project for each meeting is good, with a due date of either the meeting time or that morning since you won't have time to finish them due to other meetings.

2) No idea, it annoys me too.

3) if you select the projects you want to sort, then have a look in Edit -> Sort
