I thought about editing the HTML file and changing the " symbol to " but that wouldn't distinguish between opening & closing quotes.

This would have to be done manually, as algorithmically it may fail and then will really mess up your ebook! Search the forums for "curly and quotes" as there are some insights by JSWolf about doing this.

2 - I'm pulling images from the scanned versions of the books at books.google.com and including them in the generated books. Is there some kind of markup that I can use to identify a caption so that Book Designer will keep the image and the caption on the same page?

In html, the
CSS Style Property: page-break-after allows for an "avoid" option so if you surround your image and subsequent caption with a <div style="page-break-after: avoid"> ... </div> construct, it should in theory not render the image on the page, if the caption cannot fit. The div construct should then be rendered on the next page and if the illustration is not too tall, then there should be room for the caption there.
I say in theory since on the ebookwise, the CSS Style Property "page-break-after" is broken and not recognized, so Mobi2IMP won't help convert this! Oh well.
