1 and 2 are simply a matter of giving the sensible answers to the
appropriate questions from the installer. I can't remember exactly what
the options are called but there is an expert partition mode that allows
you to partition the disk how you want and I'd use that to verify the
partitions are as you want and not change anything, map the parts of the
filesystem you want to go on each partition in the installer, then
continue.
If you don't tell it to install anything to the other disks then it won't.
For 3, I think I need to defer to the grub experts, not sure if you will
have to preseed your install or if there is an easier way.
