2. I'm pretty sure if you hold down the center circle and top button it will do a hard reboot n/t

5. Ok, read THIS: (link)

Right here. It's a page from an article I read recently about the White Screen of Death. You may not have the WSoD, but the steps on the page should cover your options at this point. Here is a link to the first page of the article, which is pretty decent on the topic of locked iPods.

8. At least he could turn it into a completely heterosexual iPod, if nothing else

...although I imagine that might involve some data loss.

9. My nano has done the same thing twice...

Tried all the suggested procedures and nothing worked. All I did was wait for the thing to run out of battery, then recharge it and it was fine. Do NOT know the source of the problem, but letting it die seemed to cure it. On both occassions the thing was FULLY CHARGED, so now I just never top-off the battery and have had no further problems.
