I was futilely holding out for someone else to answer your questions.
1. CMark - Is there a way to mark moves in match which I would like to rollout, something like CMark in GnuBg? After marking moves, how to start rollout of that positions?
No, to my knowledge this does not yet exist in XG. It can batch analyze matches but there's no feature yet to flag moves and roll them out in succession.
2. Windows 7 - Does anyone else have problem with visibility of some text (equity in doubling positions, tabs Mode and Analyze in Options menu, etc.)?
I don't have/use nor have I ever used Windows 7, you're on your own there.
3. 3ply RED - Do you use it for rollouts? If not - why not? Is it ok to use it in some positions, and in others not? (Depending of volatility of position or sth else?)
3 ply red is a weaker version of 3 ply used to reduce evaluation time. I forget how much weaker it is offhand, I think 10-20 elo was quoted. I would not recommend using this. The program is super fast itself, there's no need to cut these corners regardless of how small the elo loss seems in my opinion.
4. Dice size - Is it possible to have smaller dice? (There is option for bigger dice, but not for smaller) Default size seems too big relatively to the board size.
As you noted, there's the option for larger dice but not smaller. I would suspect you could replace the dice files for your own in the main directory and swap out the dice but have not tried this.
5. Manual dice - Is there an interest to put option for manual dice in New game window (as Gnu has)? I think it's more user friendly (faster, simpler) than to have to change this in the Options menu.
I always like having options. Either way is fine with me.
