b) Not familiar with that. You mean have a way to automatically insert the <link> tag into selected html files, referring to the selected stylesheets?

d) This is rather complex to implement, since drag and drop is used for re-ordering the spine. Having it also work for importing files could become confusing.
A set of user initiated helper tools, NOT an automatic tools
No need to worry about precise syntax, spelling or proper HTML location. The tool does that.

To Your:
a.1) embedding (Non-System) fonts: eg. select all 4 faces of 'Gentium Book' at one go (the user still has to do the proper @font and, font-family entries
a.2) adding a image set (sliced map, fleurons, chapter title images)
a.3) (house standard) content (eg backad's, other boilerplate,)
Think of using Editor to do the Final Assembly of the book.
b) The Sigil way: Selecting 1 or more books in the filelist: right-click: Link Stylesheets: (select from 1 or more that are available) NOTE: as a side effect, all previous links in those documents are removed
