1. Although you won't be penalised hard for similar pages, it is clear that template pages from dynamic websites with complex URLS are penalised as they rarely show up in the first 3 pages. A different title would help.
I disagree. There are plenty of pages with long and/or complex URL's that rank just fine.

If pages, ie empty product pages, contain nothing more than the template, then it is likely the page will be placed in the SI or filtered out of the results in favor of another page on the site.
