It wouldn't look nice, it'd simply look *wrong*.  Labelling that tick 
with "0" means you, the author of this diagram, claim that this is the 
zero is on this axis.  But that's not the case, so this claim is quite 
definitely a lie.

No. But you don't have to: LaTeX has path search mechanisms to find 
files.  Use them, and you won't have to edit generated TeX fragments.
Or, if you really don't want to have two files, see the documentation of 
epslatex (or pslatex) on how to make it put the PostScript stuff 
directly into the TeX file.

IIRC, it's not supposed to. Font "default" means the figure will use 
whatever LaTeX's font is at the point of inclusion.  I.e. you can change 
this in the master document, at the point where you include the file 
generated by gnuplot.  You really have to read the documentation more.
