Hello Troy,
First, congratulations and welcome!
Second, the panel under the fridge is one of my pet peeves. Mine fell off as it was only held on by 3 screws into the aluminum. I finally got it to stay on by installing metal expansion anchors made for thin doors into the frame. The flap still flaps, but at least it stays on. Some people have put hinges on the flap. I would want to do a double hinge if I were to do this because if the flap hit something on the way in or out, I would want it to flex instead of break or tear something apart. I did go in and tie up some cables (making sure they had adequate slack for the slide's movement) which helped.
#2 is an answer I would like also. I would think some Old English Scratch Cover for dark woods would probably work well.
#3 I don't know. I am not sure what you mean by a push button. I purchased a replacement faucet that I am happy with. You can find some that will directly replace the faucet. Others, like the one I have will need adapters to adapt it to the fittings on the supply hoses. You can see what I did in my mods.
