In your customization layer, set the 'admon.style' parameter to
be blank. It is defined in html/param.xsl with those margins.

Use a CSS stylesheet. Look in the HTML to see the element and class names
to use for CSS selectors. For example:
div.figure p.title {
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
Depending on what is in your figure, you may need additional styles, because
the figure content may have margin-above that needs adjustment too.
I think mediaobject doesn't, but programlisting does.

Set the parameter 'xref.with.number.and.title' to zero, and you will just
get
"Figure #" in your cross references. I presume when you say a figure
without title you mean it has a <title> element but it is empty, right?
The stylesheets aren't designed to handle such titles. Maybe they should.
There is informalfigure that does not take a title, but neither does it
get a number.
If you want to display titles for those figures that have titles, you'll
have to do
some customization work.

Yes, I think so.
