You can download the activities from http://wiki.laptop.org/go/ 
Activities
Some of the activites at http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/
run on the current XO build (which uses an older version of Sugar).
Place them on a USB key, then place that key in your XO.  You can then
select the USB key symbol in the journal to view the contents of the  
key,
and drag the activities from the there to the journal icon in the lower
left hand corner of your screen.

No idea.  There are bugs in the Sugar version in current XO builds,
you could report them, but we are trying to move to the current version
which has the support of the Sugar community.

Most of the work into new activites is on the sugar mailing list.
