for best results, pretty much any kind of spacing should be done using
CSS

i don't recall seeing a reader that didn't render <b> / <strong> / <i> / <em>, but <u> is deprecated and will invalidate the epub. as an alternative, you can:
Code:
<span class="underline">underlined text</span>
with the CSS:
Code:
.underline {
text-decoration:underline;
}

this is sort of unclear because i'm not sure what 10,12 and 18 refer to (ODT font size?), but in the CSS you'd be specifying 'font-size:1em' or some relative unit of measurement.
Sigil is a really good (and free) epub authoring tool, that you might be interested in checking out if you haven't already. it's great that you've found a solution using OpenOffice and Calibre, but the relatively slight learning curve moving over to sigil i think will give you much better control over how your book is going to look, and help you more quickly resolve layout issues you might be having.
