I can help you with number one a little bit.
To get used to ducking, tie a 10- 15 ft string to two elevated points in or out of your house (it's like setting up a clothesline). Make sure the clothesline is at the height of your neck. Then start at one side of the line, try a boxing combo (jab, cross), duck underneath the line, and as you come up to the other side try another boxing combo. As your moving from one side to the other you should be moving forward. Dan Inosanto has a clip of this on his website, if you'd like to check it out.
To get used to the "bob and weave", you need to purchase a double end ball. Once it's setup, punch it, and as it comes back to you move out of the way. It's pretty simple.
