QUESTION: (1) are these different brands of wallpaper-
remover chemical all the same, or do some use *different*
chemicals from the others?

No idea (sorry).

(3) Any hints?

Sometimes plain water has worked better for us -- especially if the
patterned surface could be torn off, leaving just the paper backing stuck
to the wall. Soak the paper with a sponge, wait a few minutes, and then it
scrapes off easily.

(4) Does making the blades eg razor-sharp help (they're
already pretty darned sharp)?

If the blade is too sharp, it will just cut into the plaster or drywall.
