Can I change the face where a hole is started, like I a sketch? 1

You can't change the starting face of HW hole. There is an Enhancement SPR out for this but, it has been out since SW03 I think.
So your only choice is to use Planes instead of faces or don't remove the faces. You can't offset a plane using the face that you might get rid of either. because then you will get rid of the plane as well.

You can change the face where a hole is started! You have to hold the "SHIFT" key and then drag one of the hole faces to the face you will want it on. But you'll have to do this before u delete the face where the hole was located on previously. It can have some unexpected results though

Actually in 2004 you CAN edit the sketch plane of a HW hole. provided that it was a planar sketch to begin with..
Remember there are two ways that you can use the HW... select the planar face first (which yeilds a planar sketch)
or to just turn on the tool and click the face you want a hole on (produces a 3d sketch)
Generally I always select the panar face first (unless its a non-planar face I want holes on) and then turn on the HW.
that said... If you have planar Position sketches in the HW feature, you can Right-Mouse on the position sketch under the HW feature (Sketch1) and select edit sketch plane.
That should do it.
