I am not that other person, but I did vote other on two of them.
#5. I think Clark helps out as he can, but this causes him to have to move around alot. After they have been in Metropolis for a while,(See #6 answer) then Superman is born.
#6. I think Lois goes to work at the planet first, for about a year. Clark still free lances, but both would love him to work at the Planet. Then, with the advent of Superman, Clark gets the 'exclusive' on Superman, he get's on at the Planet.
