What do you mean by "used UTF-8"?  Remember that there are:

- The encoding in which the config file is written;

- The encoding specified within the config file for things like connector URL 
encoding, page encodings and the like.

Changing the encoding in the <?xml... at the top of the file changes the first. 
 You want to change the second.

Yes.

If they're writing XHTML rather than HTML, I'm not sure that entity exists - 
they need to check.  That may be why they're writing the value directly, 
although &#163; would also do the job.
