I'm not an Openstack expert, but this might help you:

A1. What's your network config? Whitout any useful information it's very 
difficult helping you. It would be useful both ifconfig and nova-manage 
network output, virsh output would help too.

A2. You can start looking at http://wiki.openstack.org/HowToContribute

A3. Same as before
