Pointer is point-to-point translation; I move my pen to the corner and it appears in the corner of my screen. Mouse is lift and drag for use with the Intuos mouse if one was included.
With the pen, pen mode exclusively is the way I go. I will say that I don’t use it for editing though. Adobe and Wacom need to work out some sensitivity/accuracy issues in Premiere and AE.

Is this MPEG-2 material camera original? If so it should be intraframe which is far friendlier to any NLE than something highly compressed with interframes.
I have a MBP with near the same specs and I’ve edited 5DmkII camera originals (compressed h.264) and it’ll work. I will say if you have the time to convert your footage to ProRes, Cineform, or DNxHD, it’ll be a more comfortable editing experience.

Try the underutilized echo effect https://help.adobe.com/en_US/aftereffects/cs/using/WS09B6A698-8F9E-4a00-8D1B-07FC62FB2D30a.html#WS3878526689cb91655866c1103a9d3c597-7a57a while the trail isn’t as “blended” as you say you may like, it’s a starting point to see if you’ll even like the effect.

1) No such thing as timestamp in terms of editing. It is called timecode. If the timecode is visible on the image then it’s refereed to as “burned in”.
2) There are many uses. Usually timecode is used to match and sync multiple cameras or cameras and separate audio. If you’re linking video files that were offline or missing then timecode (whether it’s true timecode or just starts at 0) helps an editing program understand where the cuts in a sequence is and how something is assembled.
3) You don’t. If this is the only copy of the footage you were given, then it is near worthless. The timecode is part of the image and is not some effect or display that can be switched off. You can start color correcting but you’ll need the camera originals eventually.
4) As long as it matches, you’re fine. When your editor worked with copies of the footage that had the timecode stripped (everything starts at 0) while you have properly timecoded video… that’s where things start becoming a pain. Basically, it’s all seamless until there is an issue… difficult to answer your question without a context.

This is more suited for reduser.net as there are some RED engineers and 3d shooters who frequent the forums.
While the cameras are similar, down to the sensor being the same piece of hardware, the supporting processing boards are not. It’s a bit out of my wheelhouse but some of these optimizations may affect image quality to the point of it not being a suitable pair for 3D.

Actually, the Epic and Scarlet have the same physical sensor size. There are cost optimizations in the quality of the Scarlet’s build and the specs of internal components that attribute to the cost reduction.
Frame size is 27.7mm (h) x 14.6mm (v) = 31.4 mm (d)

So far as I know, the RGB -> YUV conversion uses the Rec. 601 primaries (a known source of complaints in the FFMPEG project that no one cares add a switch for). Tagging the output as using these primaries, for whatever reasons, either aids in or completely avoids a matrix transformation, even if the material is Rec. 709.
Not sure why it works, or exactly what the logic is in the processing chain, but it works and colors match from input to output.

Seems like I’ve come across a better solution. “-color_primaries bt470bg” as an argument after input seems like a cleaner conversion (whatever it’s doing exactly, I’ve yet to look in source) with no minute color shift and better accuracy than the video filter color matrix.

The current ProRes encoder does not support RGB or RGBA color directly, which is why I am forced into using yuv444p10. The RGB -> YUV conversion uses the Rec 601 color matrix which is non-user selectable. You can do a conversion using the video filters, but the fidelity of the calculation is too low.
As it stands, there is no other professional format that would allow me to encode from a program, say Adobe Media Encoder, to an intermediate file and use ffmpeg or ffmbc to encode ProRes 444 with no color shifts or lossy color matrix conversions.
-pix_fmt in front input errors on the most recent builds of FFMBC and FFMPEG. Forcing it wouldn’t guarantee a pristine conversion though, kind of a moot point.
I may just dive into the color matrix filter code and up the fidelity. Pain in the butt to maintain a private build.

In Premiere Pro, you cannot. It is level strict.
The issue is that you’re not improving compatibility, you’re just hoping hardware can perform above a level the manufacturer rates it at. Not a fan this approach but if Encoding.com and YouTube swear by it then they probably have a good idea of their failure rate percentages.
You can force a level with x264 through the commandline tool ffmpeg. A commandline similar to:
ffmpeg -i inputFile.mp4 -c:v libx264 -b:v 4000k -minrate 4000k -maxrate 4000k -bufsize 1835k -level 3 outputFile.mp4
