1. A specific question: In the math mode, I can't get "u_{tt}" or anything similar to that, because the two t's will automatically become text instead of math font. That feature is useful when I want math operators like max, lim or Re, but sometimes we do use multiple-letter math variables. Is that feature configurable in the current version of TeXmacs?

Probably, although I don't know how to do this
specific thing. In any case, you can always achieve
exactly what you want by means of directly editing
the markup, as explained in, e.g. :
http://www.ags.uni-sb.de/~henri/texmacs/aTeXmacsTutorial.pdf

The approach I have used for this is to place the cursor between the two
t's and select the menu item Insert->Space->Rigid then enter 0mm in the
dialog for the Horizontal space option then hit OK. This tells TeXmacs
that the t's are single letters rather than a two letter combination.

Even easier than inserting a rigid space is to position yourself between the two t's and hit "*". This is documented in the manual somewhere, but the idea is that if you want to "multiply" two variables then you use "*", which inserts a "juxtaposition operator". (This isn't very convenient for multiple-letter variable names, though. I'd probably define a macro for those.)
