Usually, changes are much clearer to the writer than to the reader :-)

That depends. I don't develop on the trunk, but a branch, so if some
of the changes are trivial fixes or whatever, I move them to the trunk
and commit them right now (so one less thing to think about) and keep
the other changes in the branch while I refine them. Else, I commit
each change to my branch as separate commits, and then, when the time
comes to merge back to the trunk, I decide if they are related or not,
so I push them as a merge or separate commits.
