No, I would never call it a sacrilege! All MODFLOW discussions will lead to FEFLOW in the end anyway ;)!
In earnest, I'm happy about all interesting modelling discussions here in the forum, be they about FEFLOW, MODFLOW or any other software - or not related to software at all. Thank you, Zebra, for bringing in your MODFLOW experience, too.

In this case your boundary conditions are probably all on the active slice. Then all options will give you the same result.
-
If the channel bed elevation is not constant, but spatially distributed, you can also use the 'data' option of the join tool (instead of 'const') to do an interpolation for the nodes within a polygon only.
-
No, the binary formats are not documented. For manipulating the files outside FEFLOW, you have to use the ASCII formats.
-
1. Yes, they are.
2. Air is considered as non-existing for heat storage and conduction, i.e., it does neither store nor conduct heat.

FEFLOW 5.3 can plot scatter diagrams for a comparison of calculated and observed head. Please see the FEFLOW online help system for details (e.g., in the "What's new" section).

In this case, I'd simply set a fixed temperature to the injection node (1st kind boundary condition for heat transport).
-
A well for heat transport is a point source for heat. It does not have to be an actual well. Please note that you have to use the divergence form of the transport equation when using point sources for heat ('Well' type conditions).

By right-clicking into the diagram window and choosing 'properties' you can export all the curves at once into a dbf file.

No, this is currently not possible. I would recommend to visualize one of the properties as isolines, the other one as color distribution. Then you can see them in the same window.
