ALPHA BLUR question
I'm not sure. In the case I used it the fact that Blur, Alpha will give your poly a fuzzy edge without the EFI didn't matter, because it was immediately followed by an EFI.
The only way to find out is to try it.
Another way to use the same fill over the top of itself is by not using the fill at all, but adding it to a plain coloured poly using a Texture Overblend. I think that works. I can't remember the results off the top of my head. I think I noticed that as a side effect of something else I did.
Remember, though, that every fancy sheet effect you use requires processing time, so there are circumstances where a backing sheet might be better than adding Blur, Alpha, or Texture Overblend.

ALPHA BLUR question
About the second question.
2 is the limit for drawing tools. Other than that you will have to manually copy them to other sheets.
I've used a similar method in my DD4 example map (sorry - can't show you that yet) - not Color Key, but a sill sheet. I have sills that match the walls. The windows and doors only cut the walls. When the sill appears in a doorway it looks like a threshold. The trick is to not put anything more than a slight glow on the sills so the eye interprets it either as a windowsill, or as a threshold, depending on context.

How do you Add Cave Walls?
If you hide all but the floor sheet you can then copy the floor you have drawn onto the walls sheet. Then hide all but the walls sheet and use the Change Properties button to change the fill and line width of the ex-floor. Giving the polygon a line width will make it into a wall around the same shape.
Make sure you also change the layer to WALLS as well as the sheet, and you will be able to cut doors through the walls with the cutting symbols.
