Answer 2

When I was learning I used to remember by looking behind towards the way I was going and then turning the wheel towards the way I wanted to move.  So if I was reversing around a corner I'd be turning the wheel into the corner towards the grass verge.

Hope that helps!

Answer 3

Try playing with toy cars you get the feel for manoeuvres.  It might sound bizarre but believe me it does work.  You can try  to parallel park and as you have a birds eye view so to speak it gives you spacial awareness of the situation.

But also always go slow in reverse, people walking may not see you coming.

Around NYC plenty of drivers drive backwards down a one way street to avoid going around the block,
