RE:Setting web part properties per page.
When you are using a web part on a template, that web part's settings will be used on all pages that use that template. You cannot have different settings for the web part for each page that uses that template because the web part is part of the template, not the page (it's saved in the template data, not the page data). This is as it should be.
However, you can have dynamic variables in your settings if you use macros. You can use any contextual data available to you on each page in the where clause on the web part. If you need to, you can create a custom macro that you can pass a variable to that you can use to return the appropriate where clause for each page.
Keep in mind that you can use macro expressions for most settings of web parts to use the context to change the settings.
