It's more of a old rune than misunderstanding:
We roll initiative after 1st round(surprise round),
My personal bugbear rule. No offence, but that one is not for me at all.

You can also make an Acrobatics check in Pathfinder to reduce falling damage, although it only allows you to treat the fall as 10 feet shorter; presumably Tumble did the same in 3rd edition D&D.Aha! So more an old rule than a house rule.
No, it doesn't. The kinetic energy at impact is directly proportional to the initial height (disregarding air resistance).There's some evidence linear falling damage in D&D was originally supposed to be quadratic (as makes more sense from the physics point of view).
To answer the question in the OP, when we started with OD&D, we didn't realise that a magic-user has limited spell slots. We assumed that if you knew Magic Missile, you could cast it every turn. We played it like that for years.
