These two are easy to do with mencoder or ffmpeg, and the expertise
exists on the group to help you if you get stuck.

This is the part where Dave's advice is more suitable. I have a
feeling that for simple stuff, you can scrape by with the Linux
editors, but Dave may disagree, in which case I would take his opinion
over mine, since I have not actually used any Linux video editors for
longer than it took me to crop a video once. :)

Yeah, Linux can manage this. ;)
