By default, altium places the components from one schematic sheet inside a room. The DRC shows an error if its placed outside. But we can change the room settings to " place components outside the room" which allows to place the room components outside that room and shows DRC error when tried to place inside.
Normally, i dont work with rooms and i think its needed only in highly complex designs.

To set the origin, run " Edit»Origin»Set " and select the point to be set as origin.Shortcut is E»O»S

To place a drill chart, there are 2 ways. You can place it directly by " Place»Drill Table"
Or you can place text anywhere on the sheet as ".legend" and this text will be replaced by the drill table in the gerbers.( In the pcb file, it will be visible as .legend only)

And about deleting the pad, what is the problem you face? You can delete the entire footprint of the particular component. Or if you want to delete only a specific pad in a footprint, take the component properties and uncheck the 'lock primitives' option which gives us access to individual pads or lines or whatever in a footprint and then modify or delete them as you like.

dear kabaleevisu,
About you board shape error, its shown because the lines selected by you in the DXF file to define the shape doesnot form an enclosed area. Select all the lines in the DXF so that the area is closed and then try 'Define board shape from selected objects' command
