re: #2.  I've been using Eraser (http://www.heidi.ie/node/6) for wiping
external hard drives via USB.  It will also selectively overwrite files
/ folders / free disk space.  I used to schedule Eraser to wipe unused
disk space but that is just a hassle.  Truecrypt full disk encryption is
much more convenient.
