Click inside the folder with mouse button two.  Select Arrange.
Assuming you do a proper Shutdown (mouse button two on the desktop
background to bring up that menu), your icon positions should be saved.

No.  This feature has been hotly debated.  I'm not sure which approach
I like better.

IBM set things up this way to prevent the accidental movement of
icons.  It can be frustrating in other environments to have your icons
"drift" a bit if you accidentally hold down a mouse button while
moving the mouse.

To move an icon a little bit, first move it well away from its
original location, then move it back to where you want it to go (two
step process).
