I had the same problem, it's mostly because your addresses are not good
(i.e. the server don't like to receive a From: tagliatelle@tomatojuice.it
instead of: MarioOlimpio@his_isp.land)
You can change it in exim.conf in the last lines of the file (have also a look
to the /usr/doc/exim/spec.txt.gz file (don't print it; its about 256 pages!))

No problem, exim will do the job (when the adresses will be correctly
set)

No, just one .fetchmailrc in each user /home/userx directory (no way to make
a link on a single file, fetchmail is very strict about the owner and group
of its files).
