1) Delete messages without having to highlight them. I've tried
flagging them then setting a rule to delete messages flagged with that
colour but no resut. Mozilla mail has a column where you can click the
junk mail status icon and the message is automatically sent to trash.

Clicking a column and clicking the message in the list to highlight it are
different how? You still need to click something in either case, so I don't
see how it makes any difference.

2) Include a column to indicate the recipient of a message (I cc all
outgoing email to myself and would find it useful to have the "to"
column in my inbox instead of in sent mail, which I do not use.

Then simply add that column with Field Chooser. Right-click the header
line, select Field Chooser, slide to the bottom of the "Frequently-used
fields" list and click-and-drag thje To field to the location on the header
line where you'd like it displayed.
