Go to Edit > Notes Styles to get rid of the ')' suffix. As you will see 
you can also set the Paragraph Style for the note and the Character 
style of the mark there as well.

This is not so far a feature of footnotes themselves. My suggestion 
would be to make a horizontal line of your desired length, then copy 
(Ctrl+C), then in Edit Contents mode paste this as the first "character" 
in your footnote frame. To make sure you use a consistently sized line 
in a document or from one document to another, you could save your line 
in the Scrapbook for future use.
I would think that eventually this would become a feature of footnotes. 
Alternatively, if Scripter 2 lives up to its billing, you might be able 
to insert online graphics that way.

This I don't know about, but certainly it's conceivable a footnote style 
from LibreOffice is incompatible with Scribus. If you see this 
consistently, you might file a bug report.
