1. (++) - I use "Super Search" far more than "Search" and would rather have the "Search" box at the top of each page go to the "Super Search" page than the "Seach" page. Thinking back on it I don't remember the last time I used the "Search" box. After becoming a bit more active here, I added the "Personal Nodelet" and one of the first links I added was the "Super Search" link and just go there when I need to look up something rather than even trying to use the "Search" box.

2. (++) - After I vote on the current poll I don't pay attention to it till it changes again, so showing the entire poll after voting doesn't seem to be necessary and seems to me a bit of a waste of system resources.

3. (+=0) - Kind of a toss up here for me. I think that we need to have some better help (read - more focused or directed to the task at hand) on the site and this seems as good a place to start as any.

"Does the keyword nodelet work?" - You know more about that than I do ;-) - Haven't ventured there yet.

"Are quests dead?" - Never noticed the "Quests" link before! However (FWIW) after following the link and seeing that all the posts in the section stop in 2000 I would suspect that this was an experiment that didn't quite work out as a seperate heading but is kept around for Historical(?) reasons.
