Grid origin, slipping and other grid tips?

I'd love to hear some tips about working with Grid Snapping. (Using CS6 here)

 

The two major things I'm confused about:

 

1) How do I set the origin point for the grid?

(Doesn't seem related to the ruler zero origin tool or the artboard tool. Unless I'm being very dense, it's not obvious or intuitive.)

 

2) Is it me or do items aligned with the grid somehow get unaligned when moving?

(I turn View Grid on and my objects are aligned perfectly on the grid in Wireframe mode. But after moving things around several times, I can't get my objects to snap back to their original position. Pixel Grid turned off & zero sub-divisions, btw.)
