This is the dreaded FOUC, or Flash of Unstyled Content. It can be solved
very simply by putting a link to an external stylesheet at the top of your
<head> content.
You can read about it here - http://www.bluerobot.com/web/css/fouc.asp

No. The images are fetched from the browser in the order in which they are
parsed from the page's code, reading from <html> to </html>. In addition,
smaller images may fetch faster than larger images but not necessarily so,
depending on net congestion. You could build a javascript array of these
images in the head of the document (using any of the many publicly available
'preload' scripts) to try to force the order in which they appear, but you
may not be successful.
I'd rather see you spend the time to fix the invalid code on the page, and
the layout problems you have when the browser viewport is smaller than you
anticipated, and the waste of so much screen real estate in order to use a
scrolling region, which would easily fit in the available space without a
scroll. <sigh>
