1: What traits are most important to you in a prospective partner?

Human, female, not a close relative, speaks and writes English, not severely mentally ill or mentally retarded, not currently in a monogamous relationship with someone else, not imprisoned for (or wanted for) a serious crime, between the ages of 18 and, say, 46, and is willing to have me as a prospective partner.

Those seem to be the most important characteristics. There are certainly others that are important, but they're probably not quite as important as these.

As for the other questions, I think I need more dating experience before I can figure out the answers.

...and is willing to have me as a prospective partner.

I haven't been single for years, but I recall that I was always very favorably impressed when members of the opposite sex showed the very good taste to be interested in me. I assumed it was a mark of excellent character.
