re: Nothing I've read so far gives me the feeling that there is really a strong scientific consensus around these last three questions.

that is exactly the point. While just as recent as 20 years ago everyone was convinced that current warming is mainly due to humans now the same scientists question if human behavior have any significant impact on global warming at all.

re: I think we came out of the last ice age rather abruptly about 12,000 years ago.
not my field so you are probably right. I vaguely remember in one of the courses I took they just mentioned that the freezing was abrupt but warming up was gradual.

you're right about ice age ending 17K years ago. 30K is when the ice age started
