Regarding the first question you could put your Abrowser profile and cache
into ram. That will make things faster and no more disk crunching, probably
helps with battery life as well.
There are various scripts floating around to do that (the issue is preserving

There is text installer and then there is expert installer (which is also
text based).
I assure you it's there.
Great idea.

Yes. The order of updating these probably isn't important, And of course
