For the thesis statement and whether it should be included or not in the outline itself is a personal choice entirely. There is no right or wrong way here since the FPSC has not provided a standard we should follow. Traditionally essay outlines do not have thesis statements or objective statements written within them but a good reason to write it would be that the examiner at first glance has a clear view of your stance about the topic. So again a personal choice entirely. Essays should always begin on the next page in order to give a clear distinction. Quotations can be centered, written in black or blue or however you would like to present them. Again down to personal preference and as long as the essay and overall presentation is neat and clear these smaller points are rarely of any significance. Again its content and clarity of thought the examiner would like to read. Everything else is secondary.
