1. Address the ball at Impact Fix with a driver. The clubhead will be hovering in the air, not on the ground. Slightly open clubface contacting slightly on the inside-aft quadrant (on a clock about 3:30). Now lower the clubhead to the ground - more of a conventional address position. Report back with what you see.

2. The right forearm should stay pointing as long as possible. As you mentioned, the right forearm gets parallel to the ground (like an Acquired Motion stroke) at which point you can no longer point it at the straight plane line. However, up until that point, it should still be pointing at the plane line. Imagine that your plane line (or dowels) extend infinitely in both directions, both toward and away from the target. The concept of the Plane is best understood when you extend, in your mind, the lines infinitely in all directions. You can still point the right forearm at the plane line but maybe it'll be pointing somewhere 20 feet behind the ball.
