You should read through many editorials to see what they are like. Read many, from different newspapers and by different authors.

Usually editorials are not signed. They are often two columns in width -- so they are wider than other news articles and opinion pieces.

The length of editorials varies -- depending upon the subject and the publication. A rough average might be around 500 words.

Number 3 is right.
