As far as I know, you have to modify by hand the variables <odd page header> 
and <event page header>.

In the article style, these variables are set in every {section} or 
{appendix} macro expansion. However they are set using the <odd-header> and 
<even-header> functions.

So you can remove the display of the section title and number by changing 
these functions. Paste the following definitions at the beginning of your 
document, and it will do.

<assign|odd-header|<func|s|<assign|odd page header|<format|no first
indentation><htab|5mm><quote|<apply|page number>>>>>

<assign|even-header|<func|s|<assign|even page header|<format|no first
indentation><quote|<apply|page number>>>>>

Quite normal, on a bind document, odd pages are on the right and even pages 
on the wrong (or is it on the left?) :-)

That is not a bug, that is a feature. I do not think either this feature is 
very appropriate for the article style, it should only belong in the book 
style.

As I said, the header is set by section and appendix macros. So the header of 
a page is determined by the last section or appendix title on the page. I 
guess your section 2 starts on page 1 and your section 3 starts on page 2.

Since the article style is used for small documents, very often, sections do 
not span two pages. So, very often, the odd page header appears out of sync 
with the even page header.
