Labels for formulas in equation*s* have to be put *after* the equation 
numbers.

Put your cursor right behind the image and press backspace. You will
see the name of the image, followed by six other fields. The two fields after
the name of the image are respectively its width and its height. You may for
instance set the width to 5cm and the height to 27mm.
When leaving the width open, it will automatically be determined as a
function of the height (and vice versa). When leaving both fields open, the
image will be reproduced at its original size. Notice that a width of 1par
will span your image over the paragraph width.

Strange...

No, you have to do this using an external tool.

In principle, no.
