Default Transcode settings/multiple copies/progressive

Team, a couple of questions:

I note that, for whatever reason, my Encore transcode settings are set to 4Mb VBR 2 pass. Am I right in thinking this isn't the highest possible quality setting? Would 7Mb VBR 2 pass give me appreciably better quality? Is there an even higher quality setting?

Second question: from the Help file, it seems there's no easy way within Encore of making multiple DVD copies of the same project (for distribution to grandparents, aunts, uncles and the like...) Is there no alternative to going through the DVD build process individually for each DVD (although I assume successive passes will be faster as the timeline is already transcoded)?

Third question: should I be using a progressive setting for TV playback?
