I would avoid trying to get links from off language sites as there is a greater chance, that even if relevant, those links will be considered spam links by search engines. Now if you have multiple language tags onto your site (but no url changes) then you may be ok, but if your content is only in one language, you should try to get links from sites also in that language.

RE: How do I optimize dynamic content for SEO?
When you are using dynamic content on a page, if done properly you should have a no-information option, this is the content that will show for anyone who comes to the page but your CMS does not have any information on them. This content (what you could consider the page's base content) is what Google will see and rate for relevance.

RE: 301 redirecting a previously abused URL
The big question is how long ago did the URL change take place. I have had similar circumstances when gaining new clients who had been working with some less then ethical companies and we found that after ~6 months there is little SEO value unless there are still good, active links pointing to those locations. If there is still some good links pointing to the original location then you should regardless, but if not and it has been longer than 6 months I personally would not.

RE: No matter what we seem to do, we can never get higher up on Googles ranks. What gives?
Try taking a look at some of your more technical SEO pieces, if you believe that your content is buttoned up them it may be your site's technical infrastructure that is holding you back. As for your duplicate content, add in a noindex meta tag onto those pages when they are generated.

RE: Can I add external links to my sitemap?
The point of a sitemap is to tell Google what is on your site so it can index it easier. There is no way, nor any reason why you would want to put external urls onto your sitemap.
