I have no idea what an "Incoming" account is...  What account-type
is it?  Do you mean an "Income" account?  If so, income accounts
are "magic" -- they start at zero and as you "pull" income out of
them the value of the account increases.  This means both your bank
and income accounts will increase together.

This I don't know -- hopefully some german can answer ;)

In the account tree, click on the account you want to move, and then
click the "edit" button.  Now you can re-assign it to whatever parent
you want to move it anywhere in the tree.

If what you want is to re-order the accounts, you can re-order based
on the Account Code.  However, I believe that reordering on account
code wont take effect until you restart gnucash....
