Themes and irssi has very little extra documentation, reading the
default.theme is the best you'll get anywhere. (that is the
~/.irssi/default.theme btw)

1) The default theme doesn't right align nicks.

2) see the "# /names list" section in the default.theme

3) these are scattered around the theme, searching for joins, parts
etc will find it.

4) terminal background colours have nothing to do with the theme that
irssi use, so %K is always dark grey.

The best you can hope for is to work through the /format's and
default.theme. Review other themes to see if they do things you want
and "steal" them!
