Different first page and different odd and Even are commands that apply exclusively to headers and footers; consequently, they only display if you are editing a header or footer.

1. I do not want a line separating my text from the page number. That line is forcing text from one page onto the next, messing up the formatting and pagination that I have spent hours and hours working out. How can I get rid of it?

It would be much easier to understand what you mean if you were to post an example.

2. This is a book I am writing, and I do not want the numbers to begin on the first page. There was always a very simple method of doing this and now it is making me pull my hair out. Any tips?

Assuming that you are putting your page number in either the header or footer, then
1. open the header or footer
2. Go to the Design menu
3. Select different first page. This lets you have one header/footer for the first page of a section, and a different one for the rest of the section. Once that is don, just insert the page number after the first page, and you should be good.
