Answer 1

Caveat: revtex4-1 is a class for electronic submissions to journals of the American Physical Society. So the settings are for that journals and you should not change them. I.e., the title page uses a special page style for title pages of those journals. You should not change it!

However, if you want to ignore this, you can replace page style titlepage, e.g., by page style plain:

\documentclass[titlepage, osajnl,twocolumn, showkeys,10pt]{revtex4-1}  
\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\makeatletter
\let\ps@titlepage\ps@plain
\makeatother

\title{Some title}
