Your final problem can be addressed by adding a &amp;nbsp; to the table cells you don't want to 'collapse'. I don't believe it's possible to stop them doing it otherwise.

I don't really understand the rest of your problems without having an example to work from. I will say that the table scope attribute is deprecated, but it doesn't really seem to do anything anyway.

I would also recommend making it into a template if it's something you're going to use again and again, see Help:Templates if you're not sure where to start.
