> 1. Draw and Drop of figures, shapes, etc. 

Ok, let's change this report to be about this.

Currently, you can directly add shapes into the document by Ctrl-clicking them
in the Drawing toolbar. This does not work with the Sidebar Shapes deck. Also,
dragging and dropping would allow the user to immediately position the shape.

The graphics in the Gallery are draggable and droppable since forever.

Please create a new report for this and describe it in much more detail,
preferably referring to the help page of another application.

I don't understand what this means in practice. If you report it as a new
request, please describe what you mean. One guess I have is you mean an
inifinite canvas. That's not really aligned with the document model, however.

Already possible. In Writer, Paste special: Bitmap. In Draw, File - Export,
select the image format you want and optionally tick "Selection".

Already addressed in my answer above.
