RE: Rankings Dropped After Redesign
Did you change the title tags of some of the pages knowingly or unknowingly? This could be one of the main reason.

RE: Does Google look at page design
Google can determine the screen resolution your website supports and can then calculate the contents above the fold through some predefined criteria. So it has nothing to do with the screen resolution of the end user. To better understand how Google do this, check the browser size tool in Google labs.

RE: Does Google look at page design
Google wont penalize you for duplicate web design. But it does look at the layout of a web page to check how much content is above the fold using page layout algorithm. So while designing a layout make sure that you have considerable amount of contents above the fold. Web design doesn't effect ranking position directly but indirectly it can effect because of high bounce rate and other user metrics.

Make sure that your twitter button recommends to follow you, if a visitors is not already following you. With the passage of time you will get many followers.

RE: Page title getting cut off in SERPS even though it's under 70 characters?
When did you make changes to the title tag? The new title tag will appear in the SERP only when the page is re-indexed by Google.
