I would stick a small adhesive backed paper dot (like a paper hole reinforcement) on the fleece to mark the dots. You can remove them when you are pinning the pieces together for sewing.

Yes, use the bar until it is nice and sharp on the edges and then let it dry. Repurpose to the sewing room. Now you don't have to feel guilty for "throwing away" those soap bits.

Yes, to the tailor's tacks. Boyee, does that bring back learning to sew in 4-H.

At our quilting group, a 96 year old lady cuts the squares for our charity quilts, she ran out of chalk powder so filled the marker with talcum powder, works great.
