Regarding #2:
I created the user as normal user and converted the home directory.
I tried to log in via "su - user" or via "ssh user@localhost" and both works fine; the encrypted home is mounted.
I see also exactly the same behavior you describe after I log out: The home directory is unmounted.
Please try to reproduce the cron part. This is the disturbing part!
I'm currently not near my Linux box, so I have to delay the ps -ef part...
