You need to do (1) with either 2 or 3.
Also, the line should be added to ~/.lyx/lyxrc, or if you use 1.1.6,
open the preferences dialog, go to Outputs->Misc and change "TeX encoding"
to "default".

You are confusing font encoding and input encoding.
You just need to do the change in lyxrc/preferences once.

No. It will help for both Postscript and PDF (using either pdflatex or dvipdfm
or ps2pdf (assuming you use gs >= 6.0).

Since you use gs 5.50, then all math symbols which are not in the Postscript
fonts will be bitmap.
As for pdflatex, it should work, unless your pdftex is misconfigured.
What is the contents of pdftex.cfg ?
You can also try dvipdfm (which works pretty well).
