It seems #2 has been answered. I'll expound more on #1.

The phone won't change your notifications sounds or put them on a schedule for you.

There are lots of apps in the market to change your volume, bluetooth, wifi, screen brightness, etc based on time of day. Some have more triggers than just time.

Locale, as already mentioned, is one that can change settings based on different conditions, not just time. ToggleSettings is another. I prefer Setting Profiles myself as it is the least clunky, actually works, allows for changing GPS and auto-sync, which most don't, and it's not $10 like Locale and doesn't stick me with constant notification in the notification bar.

Timeriffic is another that allows you to change settings, but it just does it based only on time and day. It is free and works well. If all you want is time-based switching, and don't need to change GPS or AutoSync, it is my call for your best option, since it is free. Sound Manager will also allow you to change different volumes on a schedule. It is the most straightforward, but only changes volumes, not other phone settings like ringtone, brightness, wifi, bluetooth, etc.

Search "volume" or "scheduler" or "profiles" in the market to see all the different ones to try. I've tried most of them, and the ones I listed here are the ones I liked well enough to even consider keeping. The ones I've settled on are Setting Profiles and Sound Manager. I use sound manager just so I can see the volumes and also toggle vibrate on/off at night since Setting Profiles doesn't toggle vibrate for notifications directly.
