Im guessing that the cascade delete options for your particular database 
are not set correctly.

In JetspeedSecurity.properties:

services.JetspeedSecurity.programmatic.cascade.delete=false

try setting this to true for Hypersonic

Hard to say without seeing your security constraint and PSML ...

For starters, override the Login and Logout modules in TR.p

action.login=JLoginUser
action.logout=JLogoutUser

you will need to track users as they login and logout, and also handle 
session timeouts. Although its tricky because if someone closes a 
browser, the server has no way of knowing.

Depends how you delete the user.
Using the admin portlet, it should delete the PSML in a tx
This might fail if you have a lock on the directory or PSML file for example

Yes. The Site Manager administrative portlet is currently the only way 
to do this. We are working on a new improved customizer for 2.1

You can do this with menus.
Here is an example of a two tier menu defined in your root folder.metadata:

  <menu name="root-level-menu" regexp="true" options="/*.psml,/*/"/>

  <menu name="cwd-level-menu">
    <options regexp="true">./*/,./*.psml</options>
    <exclude>root-level-menu</exclude>
  </menu>

This might help, but more from an architectual POV. I wrote a document 
comparing my design intent in 2.0 vs the things I was frustrated with in 
1.x:
