Footnote properties are part of the page style (use the Styles & Formatting
sidebar > page styles to add/modify, eg. with right aligned lines on right
sides- or vice versa for RTL).

> 1.2 have a button which opens up the Page-Footnote-Style settings in a

We actually show the PS in the dialog, disabled for "End of page" position and
with the wrong selection in this case. But even when we allow to change the PS
of the current page or add a button to modify it, wouldn't it be a bit
"surprising" if you can switch to landscape in the footnote properties?

Showing the current PS in the drop down makes definitely sense. Not sure that
this is an ultimate solution for your problem, though.

As a direct formatting not possible, I guess. And again, changing the page
style not via dedicated dialog is weird.
