Want to make page titles appear the same as post titles?

This is actually a two-part question, I think.

First, how can I make the page titles show up using the same characteristics (ie font size and color) as post titles? I have set up 4 pages on the blog, and the one on which the new posts are displayed shows the post titles in a different color, and perhaps in a slightly smaller font. I'd like them all to display the same way.

And second, can I change the page title that displays *below* the blog header info so that it is different from the page title that displays in the tab at the top of the page, *above* the header info? Or remove it, altogether?

In what I believe is a wp issue rather than a theme issue, when I use the settings page to try to set new posts to display on NOT the main page and try to use a static page for the home page, the wp-generated home page does not appear in the dropdown. I've sort of figured a work-around of creating a 'home' page and putting my static info there, so I can select it as the main landing page for the site URL. But, now I'm stuck with two home page tabs - the wp generated one, and the one I created. And then, on the one I created, I've got the big word HOME showing up above the static info I want displayed. If I can figure out how to turn off the wp-generated home page and am left with the one I created, I'd love to remove altogether the HOME that shows up at the top of the page, below the blog header info. Or, if anyone can help me figure out how to select the wp-generated page as the static page when it doesn't show up in the dropdown list ... then I don't need to know how to remove the HOME title on the page. I think ...
