Question 1 and 3 can be solved with Lesson 3 from:

As for fingerings, sorry but i do not play the Thumbplate system, but there are many possibilities for the fingerings you asked for which you can find on *surprise*: http://www.wfg.woodwind.org/oboe/ some may work or not work depending on:

1. reed system. opening of reed, type of scrape, staple type. bigger staples make the 3rd octave higher in pitch, vice versa. so bigger makes for sense for me as a more relaxed embouchure for good pitch always makes a more resonant sound. but then again that depends on the height of the low C key in relation to the low E key pad...zzzz....

2. third octave key or not, height of opening of 3rd octave pad. for most players the 3rd octave key should open very little.

3. height of half hole plate, depending on whether you lift or half hole for the chosen fingerings. most thumbplate players lift for the 3rd octave, therefore screw down the half hole plate until it is almost closed.

Good luck!

Regards,
Howard
