Rich, IMO, the naming structure of your tags is a personal decision. Every person is going to have a different opinion of the *appropriate* way to create their tags.
Can you clarify what you are after with respect to issue #2? Where the tags are located, is once again, up to you. You can either place your tags in your .emacs/.init file using the *org-tag-alist* variable, or you can place *#+TAGS:* fields within your org file. Finally.... for devotees of the One True Program there is a Slack group, pdx-emacs.slack.com.
