The touchpad hardware on recent laptops designed for Win8 most often does no support edge scrolling (run finger along right side to scroll). If touchpad has multipoint touch recognition (up to 4 simultaneous points is common, I believe) and as two-finger scroll is supported in the driver there is no need for such dedicated area on the touchpad.

Not that I know of. I do personally heavily use three finger tap
(emulates middle button) and edge scrolling (run finger along right
side to scroll).

I don't know if it's possible to do more complex gestures off hand.
