First question:

When  new to gnucash (probably good advice for all software) take the 
time to examine what your options are. Include the possibility that you 
might have to use gnucash to produce raw reports that are exported and 
combined outside of gnucash.

So lets say you had a CoA structured by brokerage. But you want to see a 
balance sheet structured by asset type. For example, you want a balance 
sheet showing JUST what you have in cash (scattered all over the place). 
See what happens if you run a balance sheet, and then use edit=>report 
options=> accounts to select just those cash accounts.
