(1) How high should I leave the strainer off the floor

That depends on the tile. Usually 1/4" but you should check with the flooring guy.


I am told that being right next to the gravity soil pipe (exits the house below the floor), I don't need any vents.

I don't know where you got that info, but if there is a discharge from a fixture on the floor above, you need a vent. I would run it by your local building inspector to be sure. If you don't vent properly, you will have problems in the future.

Also - how do I fasten the PVC flange to the floor (or do I need to)? It is glued to the pipe, but the concrete was just poured around it.

It shouldn't matter, but if you want, you can use zamac pins.

Thanks

No problem.
