See link for question #3; namely use the three-arg version of daterange
(type,type,text)

Not easily - you could write a custom type with the desired canonical form.

Yes, the documentation could maybe use some work on this topic.  The
relevant information is provided at:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/interactive/rangetypes.html

See especially: 8.17.2 & 8.17.6
