Max characters & custom fields

hi there,
now I am getting to the final stage and some more questions:
1.)
I am using the EasyBlog - Latest Blogs Module to show my blog frontpage.
1A: Display Teasertext in frontpage layout view:
I understand that the blogsystem is cutting text after "n" characters of any Text in the blog. I can add the maximum of characters in this frontpage layout view|Featured|Maximum Content (Characters) BUT I also can add the max. characters in the mod_easybloglatestblogs|Post attributes|Truncate Post To (Characters)
What is the right place for me to add the max. char. I dont get it?

1B: If the first text field in the blog is less then the maximum of characters, the system check the blog entry for the next characters. Correct? How can I "tell" the system NOT to look after the next characters?
Some blog entries will have a shorter teaser!

2.)
Custom Fields
I add custom group/fields = ok
They are displayed at the end of the blog.
Is it possible to display this custom fields somewhere else, at an individual place in the blog article(like joomla fields)?

I hope you understand my questions:-)
Regards
Klaus
