There are basically two reasons for boiling (simmering) homemade pasta sauce for an hour. The longer the sauce cooks, the thicker it will be. Also, simmering for longer periods of time will allow the flavors to "marry," creating a better tasting sauce. Many recipes specify simmering pasta sauces for even longer; two hours or more.
Pasta about doubles in size once cooked, so if you need 2c I suggest boiling a little over 1c of pasta.
Water evaporates at 100 so it would not be possible to boil an egg at 200

Boil it, unless you are making a lasagna or some sort of casserole, it is very difficult to make pasta any other way, also, it is the quickest and easiest to clean up. Simply boil your pasta completely submerged in water with a pinch of salt until it has reached a desired consistency, then strain it so that it is out of the water and serve
The best way to bring a boil to a head so it will open and drain is to apply a warm compress to it. Leave the compress on until it gets cool. Keep repeating until the boil opens. This can take as long as 10 days.
Pasta added to water before it starts to boil gets a heat start on mushiness. Pasta quickly begins to break down in tepid water as the starch dissolves. You need the intense heat of boiling water to "set" the outside of the pasta, which prevents the pasta from sticking together. That's why the fast boil is so important; the water temperature drops when you add the pasta, but if you have a fast boil, the water will still be hot enough for the pasta to cook properly. http://whatscookingamerica.net/Pasta_Rice_Main/pasta.htm

Yes to cook dry pasta it should be boiled in plenty of salted water for the time indicated on the packet (usually 5 to 10 mins.) However some pasta (e.g. Lasagna) may be added to the dish dry as it will absorb moisture as the dish cooks. Also freshly made pasta will only need 2-3 mins boiling.

Air pressure is higher at sea-level, so a kettle will boil quickly. Air pressure lessens the higher one climbs, so a kettle will take a long time to boil on the top of Mount Everest.
