Let Bibliography appear in ToC

You can fix this by the command: \addcontentsline{toc}{<depth>}{<name>}
where the <depth> is the depth of the entry, like section, chapter, subsubsection, etc.
<name> should be in your case something like "Bibliography"

This will do the job.

Re: Purchase Order Form

Well, then simply learn LaTeX, it is certain possible. Because this question is really not specific, I can not, and will not help you.
Maybe you can post what you already have, and how to import your entries, and stuff, you should do the main work. This forum is only to exchange knowledge ...

labels on pdf to help with \ref

This can be done by using the package showkeys. Just type \usepackage[draft]{showkeys} in your preamble, and your done.
Changing the optional argument into [final], or removing the package at all, will remove all the labels.

A strange math symbol

Hi,

that is quite difficult to find: I assume that it is an enlarged, non-capital, '\mathcal'-letter 'a'. But that does not exists. Of course, you could change it simply to a symbol $\mathcal{A}$ .
Do you know the detexify recognition-site: detexify ?
Or otherwise: list of symbols

The last option ...

Roman Page Numbers for Front Matter

Hi,

This can be achieved by the command \pagenumbering{<command>}

Probably, the following MWE is an example indeed:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{Roman}
%arabic: Arabic numerals
%roman: Lowercase roman numerals
%Roman: Uppercase roman numerals
%alph: Lowercase ...

Inclusion of EPS File fails

Well, I assume that you want to add an EPS image. You have to convert that picture to PDF. You can let LaTeX do this by adding the epstopdf package to the document preamble. So a MWE will be like this.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epstopdf}

\begin{document}
\begin ...

Reference style and font

Hi,

manually modifying your .bst-file is always an option, but in the following file, many predefined styles are already defined. Check this:

Hopefully there is a style which fits your requirements.

left alignment, indentation, equation margin, and more Q's

Well, it is difficult to answer your post, because there is no context in it.
Manuals give extensive answers to many things, but even Wikipedia gives a nice introduction: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Paragraph_Formatting .

However, I'm not a Lyx user, so I'm not familiar with commands in lyx ...

Well, this is quite a basic-question. Therefore, I recommend you to read the manual of amsmath . Chapter 3 gives a nice overview of all posibilities about alignments...
