No problem with the wire nuts.
Neutrals are current carrying conductors. Current carrying conductors require individual terminations (as of 2002).
Grounds and neutrals were never allowed to share the same terminal connection as far as I know.

Is that okay too?

They have already answered your first two questions. Wire nut on neutral o.k. If the wire is too short to reach I know of no other practical solution.
One neutral per screw. Grounds may be ganged.
Notebook paper directory. Give the man extra credit. Many electricians won't even use the factory provided sticker or they provide minimal, confusing and incomplete information. Can't be too much info for me. I carry a Sharpie and write on junction box covers and leave all kinds of notes for whoever may come along after me. You could advise the client to have the electrician who makes repairs also make the directory more permanent.

I agree with Leigh. A notebook paper directory that is right is a lot better than the factory sheet that is wrong.
