Does a page on a site with high domain authority build page authority easier? i.e. less inbound links?
-
Is this also why people build backlinks to their BBB profiles, Yellowpages Profiles, etc. i.e. why do people build backlinks to other pages that link to them? Wouldn't it be more beneficial to just build that backlink directly to your target?

Surely it helps, but it is not enough. As for authority that link could in an internal page, with less pr and PA then the home page obviously. Surely it helps a lot at domain authority level and in trust rank.

If i understand you correctly, if a home page has high Authority, will your listing on that site rise quickly if you link to it, i have heard it will.
but usealy these sites have hundreds of links on the page pointing back to their own sites so that the link pointing to your site will only get a small slice of the juice.
On the odd occasion where you have high authority, few links on listing page, then it may be worth it, but i doubt it is worthwhile searching for.
Link juice is not all a link can give but, relevancy of linking page and link text is worth chaseing, so rather than trying waht you present, i suggest just point all links to your site and get the juice , link text and page relavancy of all the links. -
Pages on a high DA site will usually build authority easier than on a low DA site.
The reason people will build links to profiles, etc is to improve the value of the links from the profile to their site. For example, BBB home page would be very high authority, but the page for "Joe's Website" is rarely visited and relatively unknown. Building a bunch of links to that may seem odd, but will often help that particular page build authority, thus making the links to Joe's Website more helpful.
Why not just build links directly to your target? I'd say why not do both? Check out this article that has some info on how links are valued, among other things: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/understanding-link-based-spam-analysis-techniques

Rel canonical tag from shopify page to wordpress site page
We have pages on our shopify site example - https://shop.example.com/collections/cast-aluminum-plaques/products/cast-aluminum-address-plaque That we want to put a rel canonical tag on to direct to our wordpress site page - https://www.example.com/aluminum-plaques/ We have links form the wordpress page to the shop page, and over time ahve found that google has ranked the shop pages over the wp pages, which we do not want. So we want to put rel canonical tags on the shop pages to say the wp page is the authority. I hope that makes sense, and I would appreciate your feeback and best solution. Thanks! Is that possible?

301 Externally Linked, But Non-Producing Pages, To Productive Pages Needing Links?
I'm working on a site that has some non-productive pages without much of an upside potential, but that are linked-to externally. The site also has some productive pages, light in external links, in a somewhat related topic. What do you think of 301ing the non-productive pages with links to the productive pages without links in order to give them more external link love? Would it make much of a difference? Thanks...

Links from non-indexed pages
Whilst looking for link opportunities, I have noticed that the website has a few profiles from suppliers or accredited organisations. However, a search form is required to access these pages and when I type cache:"webpage.com" the page is showing up as non-indexed. These are good websites, not spammy directory sites, but is it worth trying to get Google to index the pages? If so, what is the best method to use?

Should the sitemap include just menu pages or all pages site wide?
I have a Drupal site that utilizes Solr, with 10 menu pages and about 4,000 pages of content. Redoing a few things and we'll need to revamp the sitemap. Typically I'd jam all pages into a single sitemap and that's it, but post-Panda, should I do anything different?
