I believe you may be wrong on this.. <<Always place your orders as GTC (Good 'til cancel). This way you will not be charged a second commission when the rest of your order (eventually) fills - which may happen after several more days...>> My understanding is that this is accurate only on a daily basis. EG., if your order is completed in one day but in several parts, you are only charged one commission. I'm happy to be corrected, though, if my understanding is inaccurate :>)

Depends on the broker. Some will take a GTC and charge you the sum of each day's trades. The first trade would include the base charge, and subsequent days fulfillments would only be the cents-per-share-over-xxx-shares portion of the commission charge.
