You probably only need to set the parameter "use.id.as.filename" and 
provide your section elements with a proper id attribute (and yes, the 
space would of course leed into difficulties).

You probably can achieve the desired behavior setting the parameter 
chunk.section.depth to "2".

Your 3th question I cannot answer.
