I just re-read your post and realized I didn't fully address all of your concerns.
My calendar is set up to view by month by default but the list view that you want is achieved by clicking the "agenda" tab on the upper right corner. I toyed with the idea of embedding 2 sets of the html code onto the page, one in month view and one in agenda view but decided this was overkill. It can be done though.
I also have this google calendar synced to my ical calendar so changes in ical are published immediately to the google cal and then right to my website. It works great, although it was a bit tedious to set up initially. That may be because I have a number of diferent subcalendars with different color codes.
Just thought I'd add that all as an FYI.
