answering my own question 2) : it turns out that it -is- possible to hard-set the location and orientation of the turtle. This can be accomplished by issuing the following command:

$ rosservice call /turtle1/teleport_absolute -- [X] [Y] [theta]

where [X],[Y], and [theta] are float numbers.

For example:

$ rosservice call /turtle1/teleport_absolute -- 0.0 0.0 90.0

puts the turtle in the lower left corner pointed upward.
