Not as far as I know.

No. The column number does show up in the status bar. If you prefer
a right-margin mark, you could resize the code window to be the
appropriate width or use a third-party editor like Multi-Edit for
Windows or Codewright that has that feature.

Nope. The full error message does show up in the status bar, so sometimes
you can see it from there without scrolling. Don't forget to use the F4
key to step from error to error, either.
