Different solutions to each of these. Plugs will appear black and could be damp and smell like gas if fuel fouled. Black and oily will be more problematic to solve.
Correct.

Do not try to correct the condition you have with a hotter heat range spark plug.

For a street car, one range colder than factory spec is generally enough.

What camshaft specs have you got?

Give the idle air bleeds a shot of carb cleaner first and reassess.
