1) How do you setup a gateway where the provider doesn't require a user name and password?  For freeswitch gateways username and password are mandatory.  
Use the param:  <param name="register" value="false"/>

2) Is there anyway to have xml_curl send the password for directory entry requests.
dunno

3) What is the best way to monitor for failed sip register attempts?
You should get an event over event sockets on registration failure.  You can also watch the log file for registration failure.  Finally, "sofia status" will give you the current status of all gateways.  You should also enable ping if you want to fail faster after the gateway becomes unreachable.

4) Is there a way to increase the volume of voicemail message sent by email?  They are fine in freeswitch but when sent by email as mp3 (mod_shout) they are really low.
 Look in shout.conf.xml -- there is a volume and outscale parameter.  I haven't looked at the source to see exactly what they are for, but that should get you started.

5) Is there any future plans to make the voicemail module more customizable?
If you can code -- patches welcome.  Otherwise, you can file a request on jira with what you want.  Add a bounty to encourage it to get done sooner rather than later.
