Is it appropriate to use the speaker manufacturer's -3 dB bass point in deciding where to set the digital crossover point. I have read that about 2X the -3 dB frequency is usually appropriate.

That's just a rule of thumb. YMMV. Experiment with different crossover points after you get your unit. However you'll probably want to get used to its sound, first, else you might make one decision when you first get it, only to make another decision after you've grown accustomed to it. Also, as you get used to your system, you may find yourself moving your speakers around a little and doing other little room tweaks to get your room to sound better.

Is there a problem in keeping the subwoofer level in balance if you use a different crossover point for digital vs. analog input?

The 950's subwoofer level is a global setting. You can't set it to one specific level for analog, and set it to another specific level for digital.

I couldn't find a specification for the crossover slope

I also don't know what the crossover slope is or if it's a linear slope.

Enjoy your new system when it arrives!
