As to the second part of your question.
I have changed my invoices to show VAT, or whatever you've defined in the Tax 
Table.  In fancy invoice at about line 224 you should see something like;
 (gncEntryGetBillTaxTable entry)))
    ;; Translators: This "T" is displayed in the taxable column, if this entry 
contains tax
 (_ "T") "")))



I changed this to;

 (_ (gncTaxTableGetName (gncEntryGetInvTaxTable entry))) "")))

Whatever taxes you have defined now appears on the invoice.
