Three problems

Three problems (which should be one-liner solutions) and $30 through paypal to whoever gives me the answer.
Please see the attached image for clarification. http://www.netlinija.com/files/drupal.jpg

1. I'm using CCK field image with image cache to display my images. In full-node view I want my image to the right and inline with the top of the body so I pulled out subtitle, and published date out and printed them separately in node.tpl.php. However, in my teaser view I want the image to start where the title starts - just like the user's image is displayed. That is because print $picture in node.tpl.php is printed separately.
I imagine I should print out the picture separately but I don't know how to pull out cached picture and show it.

2. How to display image title in full-node view? It should be a themeable function from imagefield module and somehow put in template.php. Imagefield form (when submitting the picture) has the place to put the image title and alternate text that is displayed when you hover over the image. But that information isn't carried into the teaser and fullnode view for some reason...

3. (the problem with Internet explorer only) My images keep getting out of the content box. Moreover, IE separates the $links from the $content a whole extra row (visible when one clicks and drags the mouse over). Neither of these things happen in Firefox...

I appreciate your input on these issues.
Thank you very much and looking forward to hearing from someone.
