Hopefully, the current nightly will contain a PHP Tree example that I 
wrote. That'll help you with #1. For #2, check the archives as there were 
some problems that were recently fixed regarding removing Tree nodes.

If my sample didn't make it into the nightly builds yet, get it from:

http://stevesobol.com/dojo_samples/control.phps
http://stevesobol.com/dojo_samples/tree_rpc.html

and modify control.phps to do exactly what you need it to do.

For #3 - shouldn't be too hard, but what's the consensus on the best way 
to do it? dojo.io.bind() is what I was thinking...

Well, I don't think you can do Windows-style renaming (click on the label,
it turns into a text box and you edit it), at least not yet; but you could
pop up a Dialog, have the user type in the new name and save it.
