Sneak can work in front of creatures sometimes. I think. But it works best
to buy from merchants who won't sell to you. You can sneak up behind them
and buy from them. Hide can only be done while holding still.

I find that my chances of hitting a creature first is improved if I go
behind it. Might not make a diff though. It might just seem like it does.

I have no idea about that one. I started a rogue recently and haven't found
any traps to disarm yet.
