You can also add *.youdomain.com to DNS, rather than manually adding A
records for every single subdomain. Can be a time-saver if you set up
numerous subdomains.

The opposite, actually. You can only have 1 SSL-enabled site per IP
address (unless you put them on non-standard ports), so you'll need
separate IPs for each SSL-enabled site.

I'm not sure what's going on there. Could you post the actual
configuration and the error messages? Check in your error logs to
verify which virtual host is responding to the request. It might not
be the one you're expecting.
The first VirtualHost you define for a given port number (like 80)
becomes the default vhost for that port. If you receive a request
which doesn't match any of the ServerName or ServerAlias values in
your vhosts, the request will be sent to the default virtual host.
Make sure that your main site's VirtualHost appears before any others,
and see if that makes any difference.
Also : I don't see anything in your question which relates to SSL.
Did something get left out?
