To check the Skype version, type Ctrl+JAWSKey+V in a Skype window. Skype 4.2 will not let skypeWatch announce sign ins and sign outs, though you should still get announcements of your status changes and of incoming calls. The SkypeTalking program is an alternative way to get sign in/out alerts now.
When you switch from another application back to Skype, you probably don't land on a contact or conversation list entry. Type Ctrl+1 or Ctrl+2 for the list you want. I'll leave question 4 to someone more familiar with that.
