Need to do a few layout changes in bookdown

Hey there! I started using bookdown to write my thesis. I have some issues with the layout I want to change.

  1. After each chapter (and the front cover and the Table of Contents) there is a blank page I want to get rid of.
  2. In the top right corner, the chapter title is displayed. How can this be removed?
  3. When I begin a new chapter the output be something like this:
    Chapter 1
    Titel of Chapter 1
    -> I would like only "Titel of Chapter 1" to be displayed.
  4. After every page the marging changes. How can I change it to be uniform?
  5. I would like to add another page between the front cover and the table of contents to put there some official stuff. How can this be solved?
  6. I would like to add the name of my facultiy above the title of the thesis. Like this

Name of Faculty (smaller font size than Title)
(separation line)
Title of Thesis (Large font size)
Subtitle (font size like Name of faculty)

Here are some examples of what I meant:
