#1 - Water boils at a lower temperature at altitude, Hence it boils faster.
#2 - Semi true - the air in the tank is at the same pressure regardless of depth. The body is the what is being compressed along with the air it consumes.
Propane pressure should be the same at sea level and 10000'. The reason there is a regulator. O2 content is much less and may be why your furnace won't light. The ignitor could be bad also.
Ours works fine at altitude but again it is older, a 2009 model, and things just worked better in the old days.
