Questions regarding camera in flight mode, fairings, altitude indicator, engine plates, delta v / TWR shown in VAB and some more

[Alioth81]

 I am a long time KSP1 player, just started did the tutorials but now I found some things that were easy in KSP1 but I struggle with in KSP2. Although I like many of the new UI features some things were just not obvious for me and maybe someone can help me?

1. I like the fact that in the VAB I can aim the camera to a specific part with a click with the middle mouse button. But how do I aim the camera to a part in flight mode? Middle mouse button does not work and right click context menue option like in KSP1 seems not available. I some times end up with some kind of confusing free camera but somehoe the aim seems always to be on center of gravity for me.
2. I did not find small/medium engine plates. Are engine plates named differently and are small engine plates even available? There seems to be one for very large rockets and for large spaceplanes but nor for small rockets
3. As I did not find engine plates I tried to use inline fairings as shrouds (I want to use the XS "Spark" on a small fuel tank). How can I porperly connect/close an inline fairing? Pulling with the arrow never achieves a good fit and gives errors all the time wheras when I disable "snap" I can get a good fit but there is no inidcation if the part is properly closed. Is there any indication if the inside is considered "protected" for drag, heat etc?
4. Delta V readout in VAB seems to be in vacuum, how can I toggle/slide between atmosphere/vacuum delta v read out ind VAB? At the moment I have to hit the launch button because on the launchpad delta V is current athmosphere level. Second related question is how do I see TWR of the different stages? Also TWR seem to be sea level compared to delta V which seems vaccuum is this correct?
5. The new altitude indicator has to modes delta ground and above sea level. It confused me that delta ground measures in relation to ocean floor and not water surface, It is probably technically correct as water is not ground but I nearly crashed. How are you using the the altimeter to get always the correct altitude above surface (water or land)? Am I supposed to switch from ground to sea level mode when flying above water for a landing?
6. Can someone explain to me the new center of pressure indicator? The lift arrow (or whatever it is) seems very odd and off centre even on rockets with radial symetric fins
