Have you actually borrowed the title?

You need to edit it in the roster section of your office - click on the worker's name.

No, momentum system has been revamped completely.

As far as I'm aware there's no 'momentum payoff' on ending a storyline in 2016, storyline success/failure is just cosmetic I think.

Scandals leave someone toxic for a considerable amount of time; ones I've seen have generally taken 2-3 years to get employment again.

Yes, this works.

You do; it'll tell you if someone has turned/changed gimmick too recently.
