That's because the power button is no longer the way to "select" a choice in Recovery. If you press the power button a second time when that happens it will come back.

Press the trackball button to select and you can use the trackball to move around as well.

I'm not a big fan of the change either. You can flash any version of CWM you want though.

Yes. First you will need to use this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133446

Next you need to use this to S-OFF and install custom recovery to your phone: http://revolutionary.io/ (this was formerly known as AlphaRevX)

Please keep in mind that there is not currently a known method to return to S-ON.

Yes there is.

Whats an goldcard?

It's a sdcard with a special boot sector image (from Revskills in this case) applied, based on the serial number of the sdcard. it temporarily bypasses your phone's CID to allow flashing HTC updates intended for other carriers/distributors.
