The number of columns can be changed from section to section.  To
format a document the way that you mention, put the insertion point
at the place that you want the first page to end.  Then press 
Command-Enter ( on the keypad ).  This inserts a section break.  Make
sure that your insertion point is on the second page and go to 
Format/Section to change the number of columns back to 1.

You will be able to see this in Page View or Print Preview.

>2. How can I get my footnotes to align right from page to page?

If you want to make all the footnotes in a document right aligned, put
the insertion point into one of the footnotes and select Define Styles
from the Format menu.  Select the style "Footnote Text".  Then, click
on the right align icon on the ruler, or press Command-Shift-R.  Click
Ok.  What you've done is redefined your "Footnote Text" style so that
it will always be right aligned.

You might note that if you have already manually applied another
justification to the paragraph, it will override the style.  If you
notice some paragraphs that aren't right aligned, click in them and reapply
the "Footnote Text" style.
 
Hope this information helps!
