Focus follows the mouse.  When you move the mouse to a
different window (or click the menu) the cursor in the 
rxvt window deactivates.  The cursor should return when 
the mouse re-enters the window (or when you press ALT-TAB).

That's normal.  Applications that run in an xterm take 
their geometry from the current xterm geometry.  Resizing
the window does not change the application's geometry.

Click/hold with the right button (not click/release).

None of the fonts in BL3 provide both regular and bold 
typefaces.

Yes, they go in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc.  Make sure 
you update fonts.dir (in the same directory).

No.

I'm running BL3 right now (on another computer) and rxvt has
a little black square for the cursor.  When I move the mouse
to a different window, the square goes white in the middle.
