I just have some questions on this:

1) Is 45 degree angle at full range the launch trajectory providing maximum range?

The maximum range trajectory angle when booster burnout for short range missiles (range < 1500 Km) is stay put at around 45 degrees (the re-entry is the same. For longer range missiles the maximum range angle is shallower, and their re-entry angle is also shallower.
