Re [1] - it really depends on quality of your CSS, and on HTML/CSS export 
filter.
you can place all paragraphs, images, frames, etc. using *absolute 
positioning* only (position: absolute), calculating positions using default 
paper size. In this case, you will preserve all *original formatting* from 
KWord document in such HTML page.
BTW: that's approach used by Adobe InDesign and Quark.

Another good aproach (read: another checkmark in HTML export filter) is to use 
CSS3 "as is", even while it not reached final specification at W3C.
In particular, you can use "inline-block" from CSS3 to format columns, or even 
multi-column layout module from CSS3.
"inline-block" is supported by MS IE6 aand IE 5.x for Macintosh.
