I just use the User Profile Service, which pulls from the User Profile database in SharePoint as opposed to trying to connect directly to AD from within a form. The User Profile database should mimic what's in AD as long as the profile import schedule is set to run regularly. The attribute for email is named WorkEmail, and is ...

Yes, the UserProfileService is exactly what it is named - it pulls data from the User Profile Database in SharePoint. SharePoint populates this database through import connections to AD or whatever other user store you have. The User Profiles are only as current as the schedule that keeps them updated. One would assume that this ...

I'm confused. You mentioned both a library AND a list. Do you have two separate lists, or are you just talking about one library? If just one, then this should just be a simple forms library where you have published the form as a template to the form library, and it has a data connection for submitting the form back to that ...

Yes, this is a pain when using the direct email submit function. However, I have been able to get mine to format nicely and show up in the proper size and spacing. Here are a few things I had to adjust:
1) If you have sections, you need a full line break between them, otherwise they get out of alignment and sometimes overlap.
2) ...

Excellent. Powerful servers and a farm architecture planned (assuming all 3 are dedicated to SharePoint), though small, but that's ok due to the small # of users. Using a consultant to build it out is great. Knowing this, you should be able to accomplish everything you want, although you will need a much more robust ...

The forms are actually XML files saved in the library, so you can't actually change the data in one file directly from another file. However, if you promote the properties that you want to update and check the box that makes them editable in the library, then that makes the data in the form get copied into the library itself (this is ...

Pretty easy, I think, but let me know if it's TOO simplified.
1) Create a Completed boolean data element that will be set to true when the workflow is finished (must default to false and must be a promoted property that can be editable in the form library - hit the checkbox when publishing)
2) Create a read-only view and set a form ...

The way this is defined is through the Forms Server URL that you see when opening the browser form. Look at the end of the URL and notice the Source parameter that has a URL after it. This URL is what defines the return page after closing. When opening a form a SharePoint page, this source URL is defined by whatever URL ...

Not sure on #1. I am not sure what you have in place that opens new forms from a single library but originates from multiple webpages.
2) You need to make a data connection to the XML version of the list. When you do this, the data is defined before coming to the form, which means it will be sorted, filtered, and will have the same ...

To simply answer your questions, my response is, "yes." However, these are advanced things that will require advanced knowledge and ARCHITECTING of SharePoint. You say you "lost our IT person" as if you only have one in the whole organization? Who is doing all the server installs, software deployments, and ...
