I see how to make an attack. Is there anyway to roll multiple attacks at once? Say my 15th level fighter attacks at +18/+13/+8. Rather than drap the 18, roll die, drag 13, roll die, etc. Is there a way do it all 3 at once? Other than putting them on the hotkeys?

Maybe I'm dense, but I can't figure out how to roll damage at all. Once I hit, how do I roll damage?

How do you roll attacks for NPCs/Monsters? The NPC sheet has an attack line but I see now way to easily roll dice from that?

The NPC only has 1 attack line. What about my priest NPC that has a crossbow, longsword, and range touch spells?

No, there's not save rolling three dice at once and doing the addition by yourself.

Drag the damage bonus and other modifiers that might apply to the modifier box and roll the die/dice appropriate for your weapon. The software is not an RPG automaton, but rather an application where you can mostly do roleplaying in a conventional manner. I.e., roll the dice and do the "math" ;) (although the software provides some help with it).

NPCs/monsters often have attacks that are not unambiguosuly defined just by a single number but depend on the situation, feats used etc. Therefore, to make, say, a horn attack with +15 bonus, you could e.g. scroll the modifier in the modifier box to +15, drag it to a hotkey and re-label it as Horn. When you select it and additionally drag, say, Charge Attack +2 from the common modifiers and roll the die, you'll get a line saying Horn +15, Charge Attack +2 and a draggable bubble with the result of the roll. There are also other ways of doing this; this is merely an example.

You can hit enter and add the additional attacks. When you next open the window the Attack portion will be enlarged. However, if you have a large number of attacks the window might get too small to show all the data; you can resize it by holding Control-key down and dragging the window.
