For the last bit I use org-expiry.el with a little glue.

The idea I wanted to implement was that when a TODO/PROJECT item was
created, a property with the current date should be inserted
automatically. The main feature I was looking for was creating a list
of incomplete items sorted or grouped by that date.

org-expiry.el contains the function, 'org-expiry-insert-created', to
insert a 'created' property. To have that work the way I
wanted it I added an advice to two functions. One to
'org-insert-todo-heading' to have the created property inserted when
creating an new todo heading. The other advices 'org-capture' to do the
same when capturing new todo items.

The snippet which does the above is here:
