Club postion behind ball affecting ball flight?

That might be a little more advanced? It seems like once you have a good inside out swing, then you can pretty much make a controllable fade following the flight laws. Otherwise, it's potentially going to give you unpredictable results. Is this the case?

Well face control is really important since it determines the start line of the ball, but yeah, a player is advanced if they have that key. :)

Just to show the other side of things, KJ Choi hits a pretty dependable pull-fade. It's a pattern that works for him. If you told him to hit a push-draw he probably wouldn't be too keen on it. He'd have to shift his path probably 4 degrees(or more) to the right and also get the face closed to that path, which he isn't used to doing. I'm not certain, but I'm guessing KJ aims to the right and hits pull-draws when he does have to draw the ball.

Yes let's say you consistently swing 3-4 degrees OUTward (in to out) from a square stance (parallel left). To hit a fade you would just aim your body 6-7 degrees left. This is similar to what Fred Couples and Ryan Moore do. They aim well left but swing OUTward in relation to their body alignments.
