I think we can take it from Jack's description of the enemy as "the worst creatures you can imagine" that the war was against the Daleks.
I didn't think so, on account of Torchwood seems to me to have a whole humans=monsters thing going on, and also Daleks can suck the brains out of that dude at Torchwood so why would they need to do torture?
I think we can also take it that the war started shortly before he and his friend signed up, because he was naive We were reading in Intro Lit last week about first world war poetry and how it changed from just before the war when it was all flag waving to when there was actual war when it was pretty much a lot of dying badly.
Also suspect Jack's was a foreign war, a going places war, because wars that come to you are not an adventure.

Interesting about the self-switching.
