1. You have to unlink the header from its "neighbor" in the preceding section. You do that by clicking the Link to Previous button (so that it gets deselected) on the Header & Footer Tools Design tab.

2. I'm not sure what has happened here. You should be able to insert date and/or time in the header without problems. If you want the current date and time, which is updated each time you open the file, you can insert the Date field via Insert tab | Quick Parts | Field. If you want the creation date for the file, insert the CREATEDATE field in a similar fashion.

3. To add "Page X of Y" at the location of the insertion point: Type "Page." Press Alt+Shift+P which inserts the page number field. Type "of." Then press Ctrl+F9 to insert field delimiters, { }. Between the delimiters, type NUMPAGES. Select the whole construct and press F9, and Word will update the field display.
