the last one is done by lyx when you insert the index.

this is only necessary for the oneside mode, because it's the default
for books in twosidemode

the chapterpage has per definition it's own pagestyle, called plain,
where the pagenumber is always at the bottom. This is easy to change
with fancyhdr:

I don't really understand what kind of pagenumbers do you want
to have: only numbers or chapter-number?

if you want to reset the pagecounter with every chapter than write
a \setcounter{page} behind the cleardoublepage and without a pagenumber
it looks like (in the preamble)

  \let\myChapter\chapter
  \renewcommand{\chapter}[1]{%
    \cleardoublepage
    \myChapter{#1}%
    \setcounter{page}{1}%
    \thispagestyle{empty}% without any pagenumber
  }

let me know, if you like an examplefile.

yes
