As a site supervisor, I actively search for what you term "lame" questions. Some are edited to make them easier to understand. Some are trashed, these are the questions that are unsuitable for the site.

Do questions I edited before I joined The Initiates Program count towards my edit questions mission total?

No, questions that you edited before joining The Initiates Program do not count towards your total for the editing questions mission. Similarly, any questions that you edited whilst on a previous mission do not count towards your total either. It is only the questions you edit from the start date of your mission that count towards the mission. You can check how many questions you have edited by clicking on "My contributions" on the blue menu and filtering to "Questions (edited)".

How do you make a question on WikiAnswers closed to changes?

Only supervisors can 'lock' questions so the answer cannot be changed or edited. It's a tool that's usually implemented when a perfectly good or detailed answer is being vandalised by successive contributors.

Which topics have answers that need editing?

Almost every answer that is flagged needs to be edited, and flagged questions are from every topic. Find a category and go to its homepage, find "flagged questions" in its blue side-bar, and find some answers you want to edit.
