Google contradictory communications about manual action being applied
Sorry, I'm completely confused - you said that there's no notice of a manual action in Google Webmaster Tools, but the manual action page isn't empty and Google is giving you examples of URLs? If the page isn't empty, then you have a notice of manual action. I think I'm missing something. Did the message come and go in GWT?

Page 2 to page 1
Yes, that's probably fair to say, although, in a lot of niches, you'll need more than just some of one or the other--it can take a lot of both.

Number of other outgoing links on a page
There is no hard and fast rule on maximum number of outbound links a page can/should have or at what at number they begin to lower the value of the page they're on. If all the links on a page are well curated and relevant to the topic of the page or of the site, then having your link on that page too is not going to hurt you. However, as with most things in SEO, there is a "scale" factor,and if all your back links are coming from pages with hundreds or thousands of links, you''re likely to run into problems. As for the value of such a link--think of the total value that a link from a page can provide as water in a bucket and the more pagerank or authority a page has, the bigger the bucket and the more water is able to fit into it. Now divide that water up by the number of out bound links--the fewer number of links, the more value each passes, the greater the number of links, the less value each one can pass on, until the value becomes so diluted that each one is worth next to nothing.

Is this bad????
Do the blog links help to answer or provide further information on the question? If so I'd say it isn't a problem as long as it isn't done to excess. 100s of links from one website sounds like a lot so you should be careful depending on what quality and quantity of external links you have elsewhere. Yahoo Answers links are nofollow so you won't be getting much (if any) link juice from them.

What structured data would you recommend marking up for a companies 'service'?
Hey Mark, I think using the Service one probably is the most accurate. I'd add in an image (maybe a picture of the physician or their office or maybe even a logo) because if Google ever starts using that (like with rel author) that could be a good enhancement to your result. The serviceAudience and produces properties would add some more depth to the snippet's information. You may also want to take a look at this discussion on Stack Overflow about using Good Relations markup for a service. It is a different approach and gets slightly different information out there. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19121886/schema-org-businessfunction-goodrelations I hope that helps. I'd be curious what markup you end up with and how it affects things for your client's sites. Thanks, Matthew

How to Have Flat Navigation w/out Diluting Link Juice
Doug, Somehow I missed your response. The site has 200 pages or so linked from the navigation. Thanks for the suggestion. Adding some links or breadcrumbs may help. Ideally what I would want to do is have google crawl to the important pages and not have juice flow to customer service / info only pages that in most cases have little need to rank in the SERP's. The client wants flat navigation, and I understand the point (you can be anywhere and find these pages). The drawback is spraying juice to non-relevant pages from a SEO perspective. If there is a way to block crawling that is not considered cloaking, that would be the approach. Thanks for answering.

Error reports showing pages that don't exist on website
I would avoid using the "remove URL" option in GWT. The 301s are more ideal in my opinion because let's say I have that old URL posted on my website somewhere, and now it's going to a 404 page. When you redirect it, people will be taken to a different page, and you don't have to worry about having me update the old URL on my website. The link will work, it will take you to an active page and can get you some traffic. However, the "remove URL" option won't give you this same benefit. Here's a helpful link straight from the source on when NOT to use the Remove URL option: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1269119?hl=en
