You know, I'd just tell him what you told us. I've had to do that with some of my students in the past.

Problem #2- In relation to the above problem.... he keeps a towel/spare t-shirt with him to wipe the sweat off of him. I constantly find this towel on my seat after completing a quick postflight walkaround on a turn. As I am sure most of you would I find this foul and disgusting. Any suggestions?

Just like above. Tell him what you told us!
He may not even realize that he's dipping into your personal hygiene zone at all. If he's a professional, he'll appreciate the input and make adjustments.

Problem #3- This is my last but most important problem. This person has made it known to me that he wants to be a career FO and is just here to fill the 1000TPIC requirement. I constantly find myself challenging his decisions ( as one took us directly through 757 wake turbulence---- not fun by the way). I have taken the controls away from him once and yet I feel like I am "the jerk" of the company.

Well, this can go either way.
Either he's a weak pilot or you've got a case of captainitis!
