Take the new keepers' slip along in place of the logbook. Can use it for up to 2 weeks iirc, don't quote me on that though.

As above, the car will still be in his name if you do it online.

Think it would go to his address. Depends if you trust them or not.

I have done it in the past and got the old owner to send it in the post, sometimes the tax has turned up before I went to collect

Some insurance companies (mine for one) don't send out docs at all, it's all through email, printing it out yourself is the only way to do it.
