Yes - v1.4 introduced a new navigation management system, which is 
appropriate for everything from managing site navigation to site maps 
(TOC).  See

http://hypercontent.sourceforge.net/docs/manual/develop/navigation.html

Yes.  This is something that would be implemented in XSL, and might be 
done by including your site map navigation document, locating the node 
of the current page,
and producing the breadcumb trail based on its ancestors.  We have 
produced some sites with breadcrumb trails here, so we could provide 
some code samples.

Navigation is left entirely up to you - the HyperContent site left 
navigation is managed by a navigation template file, as described in 
the chapter linked above, and changing that template file is all you 
would have to do to change whether, where and how many news items show 
up.  The relationship of navigation template files to sections of your 
site is specified in your project configuration, so you can have 
completely different rules for generating navigation in different parts 
of your site.

Keep the questions coming!

Cheers,
