Hi,
 Ok this is only for point 4, as due to my small number of hosts, i 
haven't felt the need to plat with custom maps or extended info yet.
Anyway, to get a proper tree like stracture you need to define the 
_parents_ parameter for hosts.
Here is an example:
# Default gateway host definition
define host{
        use                     generic-host            ; Name of host 
template to use

        host_name               gw
        alias                   Default Gateway
        address                 192.168.1.1
        check_command           check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts      5
        notifications_enabled   1
        notification_interval   120
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    d,u,r
        }
#External Host Definition
define host{
    use                     generic-host            ; Name of host 
template to use

    host_name               exthost
    parents                 gw
    alias                   An External Host
    address                 10.0.0.2
    check_command           check-host-alive
    max_check_attempts      10
    notifications_enabled   1
    notification_interval   240
    notification_period     24x7
    notification_options    d,u,r
}

Hope this solves that problem.
