Answer 1

Take a look with the developer tools of your browser.
Assuming that we're looking at the same elements, the extra 15px on the left side is due to this on the line 732 of bootstrap-combined.no-icons.min.css:
#media (max-width: 767px) {
.row, .thumbnails {
margin-left: 0;
}
}
which resets the negative margin on the left side but not on the right side. You could counter that with setting it back to -15px on .row:
#media (max-width: 767px) {
.row {
margin-left: -15px;
}
}

Just had a look at your site. It seams the the Bootstrap css file is adding 20px padding to left and right side of the Body element using a #media query after 767px.
All you need to do is override this in your own css file. Like this:
#media screen and (max-width: 767px) {
body {
padding-left: 0px !important;
padding-right: 0px !important;
}
}
The !important extensions will do as they say. It will override the styling no matter what the css hierarchy is. I'm putting these in to be safe as Bootstrap may override your custom css without !important extensions. Try the code above without !important extensions and see if it works also.
