I'll let others deal with the other questions, but this caught my eye:
>How about "He used his money to purchase leather." Does the infinitive
>modify the noun money?
I think that "to purchase leather" is, pretty clearly, what is
traditionally called an "infinitive of purpose." As such, I think
this would be an adverbial use of the infintive, not a noun-modifying
one.
