I have two questions:
2. If a 1.8t with 37,000 miles, went 17,000 miles without service, should I be concerned about the engine? At the very minimum, I am going to change the oil now every 3000 miles for a while to flush it out good.....

not the best idea but thats not even double the recommended service interval. if the oil was good quality oil you're also much better off. i wouldnt worry too much but i'd say you're on the right track with more frequent changes.
