Company name in the Title Tag

1. In this day of blogs and CMS; typically a CMS will repeat the name of the company in the Title Tag for every page; is that necessary if the name exist ANYWHERE else on the website?

2. Please give or point me to some best practices for companies who are trying to come up in other parts of the world; say, a software solutions company trying to sell in Europe, UK, etc.

3. Meta Descriptions: The character limit is 150 =/- but if you type more than that, does it provide more search benefit even though the user won`t see all the extra characters in a SERP?

Thanks for fighting the good fight!
