You can decide how to name your new files when using automate >> create Droplet. Just change destination to folder. Your friend will need a folder on his drive with the same name & location.
You cannot get a file naming prompt to happen in the middle of running a droplet.
Add an insert stop from the actions palette flyout menu.
to pause an action during the process to set a marquee selection, click the box in the 2nd column(toggle dialog of the action). -
If it was fina a week ago reset your prefs by holding your fingers over Shift, Ctrl, Alt booting Phothsop, and immediately pushing those 3 keys down. You will be asked to reset/delete your prefs.
You may have inadvertedly assign a custom brush to the eraser or have a very large brush. Hard to find out the exact answer, but resetting your prefs should help, if not let us know if anything else is running slow.

I assume your are referring to the preview checkbox from effects such as drop shadow.
Am quite certain there is no method. It was decided in a past Adobe Beta to keep those previews off as many of the effects can dramatically slow down a computer, and the effects are more likley to crash your computer if the preview is on.

The script has been included since CS, not sure about previous versions.
file >> scripts >> layer comps to files

The mac is easy type option and then the character you need after that. So type option e O
On the PC you can use the glyphs palette in illustrator. Phothsop does not have a glyphs palette, but you can copy and paste.

Thumbslinger provided the best answer of drawing a rectangle the size of your page(or add bleed a .5″ extra top top and bottom to the box if you are printing with 1/8″ bleed).
Too bad InDesign does not have a flyout menu option for “Align to Artboard” as Illustrator has.

In Illustrator try edit >> preferences >> file Handling & Clipboard. Enable the setting for AICB.

No and I posted this numerous times on the CS2 beta. If you work in large scale graphics(trade showos, window posters, convenience stores, billboards), this is a real inconvenience. This is one of the reasons Corel Draw surprisingly still has a large following.

Are you sure that the unsharp mask is skipped, how do you know it is skipped. Images with larger resolution may need a higher radius for the effect to be noticeable.
The only way it would be skipped is if the checkmark to the left of the action is off. Toggle the dialog to on, and everytime the action is run, it will stop on the usnharp mask until you approve the settings.

Not sure how you duplicate your layers, but by drag (then down shift) then drop copying from one docuemtns to another should solve your first problem.
Good question about collapsing all effects, as thsi annoys me too. Found this in help, but it does not seem to work–“To expand or collapse all of the layer styles applied within a layer set, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and click the triangle or inverted triangle for the set.”
