Just before the section title, do Insert -> Macro -> Assign and set
"sectionnr" as the first parameter and -1 as the second. If you want a
chapter, just assign "chapternr" and so on. This works because at every
section/chapter those counters are raised by one.

I may guess that the style used by you disables indentation after equations.
I noticed that the book style disables indentation in new paraghraphs
following sections, chapters, items. If you want the indentation, move your
cursor at the very beginning of the new paragraph, and Insert -> Indentation
Flag -> Enable Indentation Before. Otherwise, you may as well position at
the end of your equation and insert a Enable Indentation After.

In emacs you jump one word forward and backward with Meta-f and Meta-b. But
I didn't manage to get Meta working, and Escape-b or Escape-f do nothing in
TeXmacs (Escape replaces Meta if you cannot use it).
