I'm glad to hear it worked for you.

"indented to be this way"
One of the best inversions I've seen in a long time.  8^)

This is a bug.  I'll fix it in the stylesheets.

For the above three items, you might be able to accomplish some of them
by customizing the 'set.flow.properties' template in fo/pagesetup.xsl.  That
template determines which page-sequences get the body.start.indent and
body.end.indent.  The default is just for 'body' pages, preface, and
appendix.
It works on whole page-sequences, so it might not work for your abstract.

You might get this in set.flow.properties if you select
$master-reference='lot'.

 This is a style customization, I think.
