Make sure the audio switch is turned on in the Time Controls window and do a RAM preview. Be sure to set the audio preview duration to more than the default 8 seconds in the user preferences.

What do you mean by “the boundary?” Are you dragging out an area for wrapping text, or is it extending beyond the edge of the layer?

If the walking person has been photographed against a blue or green screen then he can be composited over the background layer(s) to appear to be walking from one to the other.

If he is part of one of the BG clips then he will have to be rotoscoped onto a separate layer and composited. This means frame-by-frame animated masking. You can do this inside AE, but it might be easier to export the clip as an image sequence, importing the frame/files into Photoshop and masking, then reimporting and reassembling in AE.

Does this happen only when trying to open a specific project or any project?

Have you tried trashing the preferences and starting AE again?

Turn on rulers, add guides, turn on snapping and draw within guides.

You can also go to user preferences and turn on coordinates display in the status bar to help you find your pixel positions.

Zaxwerks Invigorator will allow you to extrude your logo (give it 3-dimensional volume/depth).

Also check the Pixel Aspect Ratio compensation. Sometimes showing non-square pixels on an RGB monitor without compensation makes the video looked squashed (or stretched).

Try the Animation compressor at best quality with no fields. NTSC DV should be 720×480 and D1 at 720×486 with a CCIR-601 0.9 Pixel Aspect Ratio for 4:3 and 1.2 Anamorphic PAR for 16:9..
