Navigation by individual lines isnt available, you can see a list of naviagtion commands by pressing '?' at any time, as well as a tutorial for info by pressing 'h' at any time.
Actually, you can get an approximation to that by using the down arrow key. Not as good, but workable in a pinch. In Emacs, ^L centers the page, but I'm not sure if that also works in standalone Info. The two keys in combination are very helpful.

Not available, the scrolling method available is the one I described above. Which gives the impression of the cursor jumping.
Actually, it is available; use the space key. When you get to the end of a page it moves to the next page in textual order (the order of the pages if you printed them out). And Bksp (or maybe Del) moves through the document in reverse order.
