Hi, and welcome,
1, MCServer supports all client versions between 1.2.5 and 1.7.4, you can use any client you want without any modifications to the server. Even players with different versions can be on the same server together.
2, Each world, in its folder, has a world.ini configuration file, there's an [Monsters] section there and AnimalsOn value in it. If it is set to any nonzero value, mobs are enabled. By default the server should have the animals enabled, though.
3, There is a way, but it's not straight yet. The server internally supports limiting view distance for each player, but this limit is only accessible via plugins, it is not read from a config file. You can easily create a plugin that will set each player's viewdistance to any number you'd like, but it requires the actual writing of the plugin. You could try asking in the Plugin Requests section of the forum, someone might write the plugin for you.
