You need to buy a couple books on training bonsai, if you have already done so. Basically, you can't get a taller tree unless you plant the tree in the garden and let it grow wild for several years. Once it is in a bonsai pot you've got what you are going to get. You also need to cut ALL the branches back to 2 or 3 leaves and then cut most of the branches off until you just have a few in places where you want them.
That's why you need a book. Personally I think the tree needs too much help to do it on line. I don't mean it isn't a good tree. It is. The trunk is great and there can be a great future for it. But you have bush on top now.
As for (4) the progression it is already there. I've sort of outlined it below. That's the trunk in green and I don't think the tree should go much taller than what I've shown. Then you develop branches (in brown).
Don't know if this helps but it is only the general idea.
