We only ever see them during her final H-scene; whereas with Emi, for example, we see her leg-stubs at a few different times, including outside of H-scenes. Even Rin's "nude" sprites have her draped in a shirt. Was there any conscious (or subconscious?) decision to minimize showing them? If so, why?
No.

How did Misha(Shizune?) knew what Hisao was thinking in "Smalltalk" (Act 1, day 2)?

I'm guessing they were just good at reading him, remember that Shizune is really competitive and smart. EDIT: probably their dialogue was just written that way for some reason, who wrote the Shizune/Misha playthrough? Maybe we could get their input.

The main title screen plays the song Wiosna, which in Polish means 'Spring'. Was that because Hisao has his heart attack during the Winter and he joins Yamaku in the Spring?

No. I named it in homage to this.

Regardless, I thought the music in this game was wonderful, especially Wiosna. I guess sometimes we read more into things.

Since Hanako's theme is the only one that doesn't play during regular conversation with her, what song from the KS track would you assign her as her "passive" theme?

I know this is an odd question, but has there been any mention of when yamaku was founded?

I don't know how they were used in the final product but the two themes I wrote for Hanako were Painful History and Raindrops and Puddles. I'd assume Raindrops and Puddles is what's used for casual conversation.

I had no idea raindrops and puddles was written for Hanako, it just seems to be used, well, everywhere. Mainly Hisaos monologues.

Yeah, it's widely used, but it uses the same leitmotiff as Painful History, so I always figured it to be Hanako's secondary theme.
Sisterhood: True Edition. Hanako epilogue I wrote. Now expanded with additional chapters.

We never decided anyone's handedness. All I remember is that Rin is ambidextrous (because kamifish drew her using different feet for dexterity tasks in different images, not because anyone decided she was).

I'd have to suggest the use of the term 'ambipedal', not 'ambidextrous', in Rin's particular case. :)
