Shona,

1)  This is probably possible, but will be tricky.  The only Patron Name field available in the Print Template is $F{patron_name} which always is "lastname, firstname".  You would have to write some script for the template to extract everything up to the first letter of the firstname.  I can't really test it right now, but I think something like this might work:
$F{Patron_Name}.substring(0,$F{Patron_Name}.indexof(",") + 3)

2) Yes.  Again, this will require writing some code for the template.  I think this might do it:
$F{Patron_Barcode}.substring($F{Patron_Barcode}.length() - 2,$F{Patron_Barcode}.length())

3) No, there doesn't seem to be any field for the Print Template that will give you the code instead of the name of the pickup location.
