In reference to number 2 above. I went back and reread the help manual. I now see that when selecting Save As from the File menu, Templates shows up as one of my places (I use Thunar file manager and it shows on the left). When selected, it appears to save the file in /usr/share/inkscape/templates/ folder. Again, this was not super obvious because my eyes don't always look at the places option when saving a file. I compared some other software packages to see how they handle this:

LibreOffice - Save as dialog has the option to save the file as a template (.ODT) the file format drop down.

Scribus - Save as Template in the File drop down menu.

Krita - Create template from image in the File drop down menu.

Gimp - Create template in the file drop down menu

It may be helpful to create an option in the File drop down menu that is more explicit.
