I don't think you'll be gratified. My impression is that your issues are more of your preferences being outside the target demographic for the game than a "wrongness" in the game. You want a more challenging, harder game; that's great, but I don't think Blizzard will comply, at least below Hero levels. If they're targeting an audience of first time MOGers, it would probably be a mistake to accede.
As for #3, I think it's a mistake by Blizzard, but not a huge one. There's probably a business opportunity in there somewhere for providing a US billing address for those who reside outside the US.
Of course, that niche may already be filled by the eBay forwarding scammers. :)
