First you have to set the default signature type (other/random/none). Then, if it's 'other', you set the default signature choice. The signature has to be an existing signature, or else you have to make that first too, or else set the content of the Standard signature (which should exist already but has no content unless it's been set.).
-- make new signature with properties {name:"Sig Name", content:("-- " and return & "Joe Blow"), include in random:false}
tell newAccount
set default signature type to other
set default signature choice to signature "Standard" -- or signature "Sig Name"
end tell
You should be able to include these settings in the 'make new account with properties {...}, but if that does not work properly, then set the default sig properties after you make the account.
set additional headers of POP account "Silcom" to "x-Paul-Berkowitz: This is from me"
works fine here. Again if it doesn't work in the 'make new account' line, do it afterwards.

Not here: it works fine. Make sure to include a colon (:) as you see in headers in the source of any message. If you need more than one additional header, include carriage returns or ' & return & '

Unfortunately no. None of these new certificate features of Entourage 2004 were made scriptable - yet. it should be coming in a later version.
