When editing, select the closed way selecting the building and if the toolbox bottom right has an option to "Show More" click that. The button to make corners right angled is the square one with red nodes on the corners. I personally now try to only add buildings having first surveyed to collect the house number details, as I figure while the buildings on their own look pretty, the addressing information can help routers get an accurate destination (and not having unaddressed buildings on the map helps me see where still needs surveying). But that's probably just me (and another local mapper).
