Nope, you can only choose to show a growl notification on these events, not
what to display in them.

Same answer as #1.

I haven't gone back to play with this yet but what I was seeing was that on
a long status message the growl notification would run words together and it
appeared that these words were on the other side of a carriage return.

Ex. "This is a long away message for the
    sake of being long... Blah blah blah blah blah."

Would look like:
"This is a long away message for thesake of
being long... Blah blah blah blah blah."

Again, I need to look into this a bit more but that's what seemed to be
happening.
