You might want to watch this video…
However, if you still feel the need to transcode to an intermediate, Cineform is highly recommended.

Place your 2 videos on the timeline, one above the other. Use the Crop effect to crop them to the space that you need to show. By default the background will be black.

Not built in. However, several of us funded the development of the Advanced Frameserver plugin which did exactly what you need. It worked beautifully in CS5.5, but I’m not sure about CS6. I stopped using it when I abandoned encoding with Squeeze and went totally with Adobe Media Encoder.
Best of all, it’s free.

I’m not familiar with any shortcut for this. Since it’s a fairly common activity, perhaps you should suggest one. However, since I do it often, I’ve narrowed it down to a few simple steps, which you may have already discovered.
1 – Make sure the pertinent video track is selected.
2 – Move to the head of the clip, Press ‘F’ to load that clip into the Source Monitor at that point.
3 – Press ‘I’ to set an in point on the source clip
4 – Back in the timeline, jump to the tail of the clip.
5 – Again, press ‘F’ to jump to that frame in the clip in the Source Monitor.
6 – Set an out point on the source clip.
7 – Drag this audio selection to it’s spot in the timeline.Once you get comfortable with it, you can get this entire process down to about 10 seconds.

Did you ever figure this out? Mine is grayed out too.

I’m pretty sure the ‘Color Match’ effect was killed in CS5. I’d never had very much success with it, certainly not as much as I’d had with Avid Media Composer prior to switching to Premiere Pro.
However, there are 3rd party plugins that do offer a color match workflow – Colorista and Boris FX are two that come to mind.

Assuming that you already are familiar with color correction techniques in Adobe Premiere, you should somehow categorize your clips in you sequence so that clips with the same initial color are easy to select as a group.
Pick a clip to correct, and do so, making this your baseline for all future corrections.
Then, correct a representative clip from each group of similar clips to match the initial baseline clip.
Save each of these corrections as presets, which you can then apply to the rest of the clips in each group, tweaking each if needed.
If you aren’t up to speed on correction in Premiere, there are several VERY nice tutorials to be found here on the COW.

We follow Chis’ method, except that as soon as I get a chance, I also back up all camera media to a Blu-Ray disc. Works beautifully!

Typically for the Mac the codec of choice is Apple ProRes, but I’m not sure if you have to have FCP onboard to install the write capability of that codec or not. A lot of it depends on the capabilities of the computer. A properly built, well-tuned computer can make all the difference in the world with AVCHD editing.
