1. Answer 1. Am not a Japanese. But I prefer subtitles over the dubbed versions. The sound of the Japanese language makes it all the more interesting. Answer 2. and Answer 3. Did not pay attention to the voices. Guess thats whats brilliant about these films, you don't think that these are not really the characters speaking.
2. I love Christian bale in howls Moving castle, doing the voice of Howl
3. Question 1 : Normally for any foreign movie, I prefer watching it in the original language. However, if the voiceovers are done well, I don't mind watching it with the English dub. Question 2 : Anne Hathaway as Haru and Cary Elwes as The Baron in "The Cat Returns". Question 3 : Hard to say, as I'm not Japanese myself so it's a bit more difficult for me to distinguish voices in an anime the way I can with an English cartoon.
