Generally new pages should be created by calling process_datamap in the
class t3lib_tcemain (which is worth checking out). That's the rawest mode
of creating any kind of record which is defined in the TCA.

If you want to create a page in the FE context, you have to take care about
access restrictions yourself. However, a small help is still there: Use the
method DBgetInsert() in tslib_cObj (usually $this->cObj->DBgetInsert) to
create the page record and you don't have to cope with the creation date
etc. at least.

See above.

We all have the same limited time here on earth ;-)
