First up, how does one cancel building orders after they're placed but before they're built? I accidentally dropped a bridge in the middle of some road and another bridge that's too short and can't work out how to cancel them.

Secondly, any chance of highlighting things you already have in some way? For instance, marking buidings on the list which you already have in another colour would be useful. It'd also be nice to show the numbers of things like doors, chairs and tables you have available when you go into the building menu to place them.

From the t or q menu, go over to the building and press x.  A dwarf will eventually make their way over and cancel the building.

Sure, if I can find space for it (the interface is always cramped), I can do it.  For now, you've got the somewhat unfortunate 'r' screen.

The cancel option on the q menu doesn't seem to work for roads, bridges etc - they aren't highlighted by it as buildings. I'm not sure if you can just cancel the job from the jobs list, though. Haven't even pressed t yet as far as I can remember - too busy trying to get enough food together

Yeah, there are a number of buildings that don't have a q view, because they don't have associated jobs.  The t -> x combination is the way to go.

Maybe there was a good reason for that warning...
