1) Edit /etc/inittab and change the "initdefault" from 3 to 5.
2) a. # adduser jane
    b. # passwd jane

[edit] I believe I misunderstood your question on #1.  I thought you meant you didn't have a graphical logon screen and booted to a virtual terminal.  But chaosforages has the answer if you just wanted to switch window managers from the shell.[/edit]
