For #2, it sounds like you are using a document template with automatic layout turned on. You can change this with the diagram layout inspector for your current document.

Press cmd-3 to bring up the inspector, then uncheck the Automatic layout box in the Diagram Layout section.

For 1.
Just pick up the bottom right corner of the window and drag it) standard Apple functionality). If the stencil is drawn properly, it will have a default size, where the objects are rendered well. Very few are, especially now that we have every tom, dick and harry uploading ordinary diagrams as "stencils". So you need to look at the several stencils available for your need and pick out the better ones. Some "stencils" do stupid things, such as: fill your screen; object size inconsistencies; incorrect or no handles; absence of scaling; no grid orientation; etc. Any of which pose obstacles to using them, and define them as non-stencils. Not sure, from your wording, but ... you do not have too copy all the objects in a stencil: just leave the stencil open, next to your doc, go to the stencil; pick up one object; drag it onto your canvas. And so on.

No worries.
The SimpleWireFrame is not a particularly good stencil. Hang on, dragging the window resize does resize exactly like iPhoto (maybe you mean something else, such as you want horizontal and vertical scroll bars, which stencils do not have). Alright, here's another method. Start with a doc and have the stencil you want open. Edit the stencil StencilMenu/Edit. Change it to suit yourself: give it a background to contrast the objects, improve the quality of the objects; etc. You can set the default size (as opposed to the real size, which is done by dragging the resize corner) by changing the magnification (while you are editig the stencil).
