comment different type areas on even/odd pages
I tried to automate it with background and everyshi, without luck (only errors). everypage almost does the trick, but there only one margin is changed, thus printing over the page border.

comment different type areas on even/odd pages
If you're willing to set all page breaks manually, this can be done with \newgeometry and \restoregeometry. But I suspect you want something automatic?

comment Scale font in TikZ plots
That was a close guess. At least for me it works with \pgfplotsset{every axis/.append style={font=\tiny}}.

Exactly! This will however not work for all angles, as the coils are not solid (just two rings).

@LostBrit: You have half a valid point there. Often you have a graphic in medium resolution that look fine in the PDF, but not so much once you print it. This graphic is slightly blurry, this will probably look a lot worce when printing. On the other hand, just recreating is boring, I'll admit that. So one could try to improve it on the way ;-)

comment How can I generate some Latex output (equation) to be imported in MS Word?
standalone also supports conversion to raster images, provided you have installed the free ImageMagick.

@PrzemysławScherwentke: Which version do you use? I used the v2.0 natation, which is not compatible with v1.0. There you used \SetBgContents{} \SetBgColor{} \SetBgAngle{} \SetBgOpacity{} \SetBgScale{} \SetBgPosition{} \SetBgAnchor{} \SetBgHshift{} \SetBgVshift{}. Either change to the old syntax or upgrade to v2.0 (if that is the problem).

Probably \pgfplotsset{every axis plot/.append style={font=\tiny}}?

comment List of schemes, caption and lining up the reaction in chemfig
Concerning your first question: it can be done with tocloft, like shown here. Also, are you sure your MWE is really "minimal"? You load a lot of packages, are all of them really neccesary for this short example?

Judging from David's and Click's answer, maybe a {fun} tag is in order...
