3. Is it not possible to "pull" several surfaces (that
are all in the same plane) at once? For instance, for
making many dadoes all at once without having to enter
the depth each time?

As long as you haven't deselected the push/pull tool you
can repeat the last depth by double clicking a different
surface.

An easier way to do what you describe is via linear arrays...

1. Make a drawing of a board with a rabbet at one end. The board should be
the length between dados; ie, it will be too short; the rabbet should be the
size you want for dadoes.

2. Select the entire board

3. Activate the "move" tool and press control. Control tells the tool to
move a copy.

4. Click at the corner of the board

5. Click where you want that corner to go

6. You now have a board that is twice the length; it has a rabbet at one
end, a dado in the middle. Repeat as desired and then remove the extraneous
rabbet.

To avoid repetitive moving, type in nX after the first move where "n" is the
number of copies you need placed. More at...
