News.txt must be set to read-only at the server-side. Check that first. About setting the spawn, look at http://wiki.minegoboom.com/index.php/Complete_Settings#S and scroll down to 'Spawn [Continuum .38]'

I don't think it can be done via settings, however you can make a bot that does that for you. It can watch the flagcarrier, and whenever it jumps a distance longer then 200 pixels it can do a *flagreset.
Isn't that done automatically as soon as you start up the server somewhere else with the right name passwords (in the Directory section of your server.ini) ?
Your brother has digged a hole for you, he fell down in it and now you are falling down in it too. Aka; no reason to lift the ban, even more reason to keep the ban in place. Not that I even can lift it
Open Continuum, click the zone that you are having problem with and then click 'trace'. Let it run for 20 cycles or so, export the results and post them here.
That won't cause any problem, leg0las, as long as it is a valid filename. Your original server.ini didn't have ServerIP set, this might cause problems.
