Is the sitemap submitted?
Like said early content is very important.
You may know this but don't get impatient and try and speed things up by doing anything blackhat.
I haven't launched a new site with a new domain so I can only say that it it me about 3 months to get back to normal after a redesigned site launch. Had to do some post launch clean up
I would say it does effect it
I would say spelling errors would effect time on site which would effect rankings. Other problems will effect the serps which may look spammy to potential readers.
These errors are easy to fix and the efforts would be easy to get ROI.
Would it also be important to keep the content similar to maintain SEO and then change it slowly to prevent a drop?

the first letter is cap when your site is in the URL of some other site
I have not lost any traffic over the weekend. One thing you may want to look at is google insights to see if the keywords have a trend for dipping at specific times of the week, month, or year
I use Google custom search on my site and love it. I would say you have some valid concerns. At first it was a bit of a pain because some of the images didn't line up with the products after a few weeks it worked itself out. We had a 47% increase in conversion from using Google custom search, I use an out of the box type web service so I cannot help you with a few of the questions. There is a lot of customization you can do to fix that you described. Bringing our blog and recipe section was the purpose for trying it and the revenue proved it to be a wise decision.
I find that Google is the best but I submitted a site to Bing\Yahoo and have found that conversions from the Bing/Yahoo are much higher.
It doesn't take long to submit one and it can't hurt you at all
You also see them in webmaster tools from Google
second, it is a page I deleted this needs a 301
I would say the example you are referring to is the same.
americanflour.com
americanherb.com
We parked them and pay the yearly fee and 301 them to our actual site. Some of them actually had a site at sometime. As for ranking I saw no change but they still bring in a small amount of traffic
Yes, it was a strange situation. Lets say I was www.example.com and someone got on a blog and put the link www.example.org so there were links to it from several sites. We owned www.example.org so I just 301 it to our current site. I hope this is what you meant
I had the same situation a few months ago and just pointed them to my site as some of them did have some backlinks
I agree with Matt. I have an online store with a local pickup option. I ship all over the US but do not do local SEO in the city where I am based. If your product is specific to the region you should be allright with a local SEO effort.
Are you also wildblue.com? That site ranked in first when wild blue is search
What do think about the large amount of words in the image alt tags? I am just curious. I cant help but think it may look a bit spammy. Am I wrong?
I lost rank on a product page for too many of the same type keywords. I scaled them back and ranking improved a few weeks later. A program I use indicated this :Your Image Alt attributes seem very long . The average wordcount per Alt tag is 8.8 . Possibly too high.
I would try rankchecker it spiders out to find your actual rank. Or Google the keywords and find your sites current rank. I believe SeoMoz does an update kind of like Semrush but not positive.
Did you compare the data in Google Analytics? The drop doesn't seem that hard of drop. You may also check Google insights to see if traffic for those keywords have also dropped
