In general, the short answer to all of your questions is "yes." These particular tasks can be done mostly with Model View Options. You can create a MVO which then stays associated with each View. Fills can also be changed through Graphic Overrides when you upgrade to AC20.
The effect of having only a small section with fills on the Layout Sheet can be created by sending two views of the same plan, one WITH the fills, and one WITHOUT. Resize the one with the fills to whatever size you wish, and then place it over the view without the fills, making sure that these are perfectly aligned.
Regarding schedules, this is easy. In the Organizer, just drag the schedule onto the layout you wish it to appear on.
