For 1, they've said it was just the first Act that didn't have a lot of source points and that the second act would have way more compared to the first one (I don't have the source handy though)
I can agree with 2, but it's not like you need to have all spells on all characters, considering you get bigger bonuses for specializing (e.g. more healing gained via necromancer)
3. I guess, I personally never had problems, but it's not like it would be bad to add
4. I don't see this as a problem either as you can freely turn the camera around or go overhead mode if need be
5. Don't carry paintings then? If you have someone stationed at a vendor you can just magic pockets the paintings to them anyways
Slane removes the monsters that guard the entrace that instakills anyone who gets near - can't recall their name.
7. Yeah this sucks, but hopefully fixed by release, at least
