Concerning (1), as mentioned above, the Latin liturgy witnesses to Veni Creator Spiritus; also, from scripture, perhaps:

Psalm 104:30 You shall send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created; and you shall renew the face of the earth.

Dn. Anthony

Yes to the Father as Creator.
Yes to the Holy Spirit as Creator.
Yes to the Jesus as Creator. - mentioned many times in the NT especially in Revelation I believe.
Otherwise you fall in to the Modalism (roles not persons) heresy.
