I would just turn off the glow so that it doesn’t blur in at all – Text tab of the Inspector, Style pane, near the middle, uncheck the Glow checkbox.

The Corkboard template in this collection of Motion 5/FCP X templates does pretty much exactly that – you could break it down to learn how to do it yourself:
Also I cover how to animate the camera in detail here:

You can definitely do this with a couple of parameter behaviors – e.g. Oscillate to make something swing back and forth, and then apply a Ramp behavior to the Amplitude of the Oscillate behavior to have the amplitude ramp down over time to 0. No keyframes required and looks quite natural.

No updates – you should receive all the media that comes on the DVD – everything that is in the book, you can do with the included projects and media.

No, there is no “Save As” an earlier version. There is a workaround whereby you can open the Motion 5 project file in TextEdit and change the version number to 4.0.3 – it will then open in 4.0.3, but it may not have all the features you require. You could test this with a copy. But really, for $50, why mess around?

Use FontBook to make sure the font is installed at the Computer level, not the User, validate the font, and resolve duplicates.

I don’t believer there’s anything you can do about that.

You don’t draw a mask. You select the video, then choose Object>Image Mask. The HUD will then display the well for your text layer to be dragged to.
