Just set the 'tagline' header field:
\header{
...
tagline = "Hello World!"
}

Once http://lilypond.org/search/ works well (it's broken at the
moment but worked reasonably yesterday), you could easily
find the answer to this and many other questions from a free text
search in the on-line manual. Anyway, just set the paper variable
'indent' to the desired level of indentation:
\score{
...
\paper{
indent = 0.0\cm
...
}
}

Try a \context ChoirStaff instead of GrandStaff or StaffGroup or
whatever you tried.

See the example file input/regression/lyric-phrasing.ly
or read in the reference manual about 'stanza'.

Hmm, that's a good question. I tried to use font markup
commands in the stanza property but it didn't work.
Bug or limitation?

\property LyricsVoice . stanza = #'(dynamic "mf")

I tried to change
,dotted-eight-note " = 64"
to
,note " = 64"
in the example and it looks reasonably good to me.
