In regards to 1.

Maybe you should rethink that a bit..
A single one handed sword should do less damage than a two handed weapon, it should also do less total damage than dual wielding two single handed weapons of the same type. The reasons for this is that, 1. A one handed sword is lighter than a two handed weapon and you are swinging it with one hand, meaning you get less power into the swing than you get by using two hands. When dual wielding you are hitting with two weapons and so the total damage should be higher, but at the same time wielding a single one hand weapon should do a little more damage than a one of the dual wielded weapons would do individually, but not much, and also the off hand weapon should do less damage than the main hand weapon. When single wielding a one handed weapon your pose would be different than when dual wielding and you would use your body more to put power into it. As for a single one handed weapon with the off hand free having less defense than a single one handed weapon with a shield in the off hand, well.. That one make perfect sense, it's a shield, you use it to shield yourself and to block incoming attacks, what would happen if you try to block a sword with your arm? You get hurt, of course. But on the other hand, when using a single one handed weapon with the off hand free one should get a little higher dodge bonus. Perhaps changing the "Single-handed" skill so that in addition to giving 5% damage and 5% accuracy per point it give 2% dodge per point, if the off hand is free.
