Pretty old. But might be ok to start with.

Yes. But this can be circumvented by setting the T1 font encoding,
<http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/latex.html#font-encoding>,
best in a ~/.docutils configuration file (see 
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/config.html).

For a test you can just edit the generated *.tex file:
uncomment the "offending" commands (\usepackage{ae,aeguill} in this case)
and try again.

In Debian, it is in 'texlive-latex-recommended'.

Also the typearea.sty package, needed by latex2rst.py, is in
texlive-latex-recommended.
