  ButtonStyle All -- flat

  Mouse 2 M WSFT MoveOrRaiseLower

  DestroyFunc MoveOrRaiseLower
  AddToFunc MoveOrRaiseLower
  + M Move
  + H Move
  + C RaiseLower

Then press Alt together with a middle mouse button inside a window
to move it or raise/lower.

Make a font smaller. Or use TitleStyle Height or MinHeight, see the man
page.

Yes, search for 'FONT' sections in the man page.

You may want to define bg here (and maybe sh, hi) too, unless you use
everything flat.

Did you try a solution posted in another thread?

You should add Tint and similar options to Colorset definition.
See the COLORSETS section in the fvwm man page. Something like:

  Colorset 51 Transparent, Tint green 10, bgTint cyan 20

Preferably in fvwm-themes format, ready to use with one click.
