When solving some puzzles it would be great to add option to not immediately validate moves and give ability to move all figures to see threats and possible trades, because its hard to imagine what move is good if there is more than 2-3 moves in puzzle. Creating new board and setting the same setup, turning off computer hints and trying to do some moves is very time consuming.

It's kinda the point.

I second #2. It is hard, but practice is the only way to improve. You don't get that practice by moving the pieces on another board.
Full disclosure (to pre-empt obvious objections): before the training ratings got their own graphs on peoples' profiles, my own training rating was well below 2000. I freely admit that I really struggled with calculation and visualization. It's taken me about 2.5 years of very regular practice to get to the level of consistency I'm at today, and I still have to practice every day to keep it up.
