you as a notary cannot go out and just do loan signings without the involvement of an attorney - so you'll have to direct your energies for your notary work in other directions not involving real estate closings.
So, on that note, I see most of your questions are related to loan signings...to answer the one remaining question:
Errors and Omissions insurance is optional but a good idea - as to how much you carry, that's a personal choice - just keep in mind it only covers "notarial errors" - mistakes you make as a notary. If you want more expansive coverage then professional liability insurance would be the way to go, but it's pricey.
How much work you get as a general notary will depend on how much effort you put into marketing yourself and promoting yourself as a notary.
Good luck
