Its your own preferance. I like to have the screw through the farthest most hole and then the back foot binding through the farthest back hole. The closer together the bindings are, the edging (when you start doing jumps) will be tougher (almost un-noticable) than having them more apart. If I were you I would do the 2nd hole (front) and 1st or 2nd hole to the back. Again, its just a personal preference. My .02 .

pretty much preference, but you want to have them both ducked out the same amount.

for how far apart there's a little reference a lot of people use. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and jump up, how far apart your feet naturally land is how far apart the bindings should be.

I would move it to closer to the centre if you are a newbie at it. Then gradually increase your stance. For some people riding all the way out will more hurt them then help. Kyle Schmidt did a good article on stance a bit ago in Wakeboarding Mag.
