& change the query

I good PHP Dev.

<ul>
  <{foreach item=news from=$block.stories}>
    <li><a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/news/article.php?storyid=<{$news.id}>"><{$news.title}>a> (<{$news.date}>)li>

No need to do it complicated.
Clone the block as many times as needed.
Edit the block and assign the topics to display.

No, in the block manager use the link clone (next to edit) to clone the block.

You don't. As I said before edit the block settings and select the categories to show.

Oops, that is very old.
You might consider an upgrade. Above possibilities are in XOOPS 2.3.3 and News 1.63.
