#2 - No. Cura programmers all are in Europe and feel that inches is a barbarian measurement. There is a barbarian plugin but doesn't allow you to view in inches (pretty sure). It only allows you to convert STL files from inches to mm.
Metric is something you may just have to learn. I find having a metric ruler around and if you memorize 1cm (how big it is) a few times, it gets easy fast. The visible grid in Cura has 1cm (10mm) squares for reference.

mouse wheel zooms. Alternate: + and - keys (either on main keyboard or on keypad - doesn't matter. "=" works same as "+")
Right click and drag to orbit (or the 4 arrow keys work if you click on the grid away from any part first)
shift+right click and drag to pan
I use all three of those actions. Everytime I use cura.
Middle mouse drag also does something (maybe?) but I don't have a middle mouse so I'm not sure what.
