Sorry to not be more helpful, but I'm leveling a warrior tank for the first time and I'm having these exact same issues, hoping to steal advice from actually helpful parties ;)
I'm not an expert warrior by any means, but I have been playing one for a few years and might be able to give you a bit of help. The first one, there isn't really too much you can do to change it as blizzard has been tinkering with the Tab Targeting system for a long time. But, one thing to keep in mind is that you will only ever tab target something that's on your screen and has a nameplate. So if you find you're tabbing to another pack by mistake, try to do everything you can to make sure that the mobs you're currently tanking are the only (alive) ones on camera. If this means charging in and facing the direction you charged from, it should only tab to mobs in that group. Also, Shift-Tab, unless it's been unbound, should tab to the PREVIOUS closest enemy. So if you tab one too many times, Shift-Tab should bring you back

Everything this one says, especially once you get Heroic Leap at 85. I don't keep it glyphed because Gag Order, Endless Rage, and the dispel on Shield Slam are all too important, but it's very good for getting out some damage early on. One thing you can do is make a macro that puts a skull on your target when you hit Devastate, since you'll be building threat on that primary target more than anything else. (I haven't found it necessary to do this, personally, but my guild master/raiding MT does, and if we pull threat because we're not focusing on the skull target he reminds us that's our own damn fault ;).)
I hate what they did to tab targeting. (If you think it is bad on a warrior, I have to say... hunter!). My main warrior (I have 9) is only 87, so I can't speak to end game. You do have tidy/threatplates? If tab targetting just isn't working clicky on names can help (and it also helps you see what you *are* targeting). I am grateful that often when I tab to something across the room since it isn't in melee range I can retarget and not pull all the things.
No joy with the camera thing. I hope they fix it soonest.

I've always been a tabber, and it's not an issue on my monk or my paladin, and I find prot warrioring so utterly frustrating. -.-
