I decided to clean Rocky. Removed the hopper and underneath, screwed
into a hole next to one of the hopper screw holes (protruding downward)
is a course thread, screw (approx 1.5 in long).
1. What is the purpose of this screw? (Can't find it on the parts
diagram)
2. It is bent at about a 30 degree angle? Is this correct?

It should not be bent. I removed mine to allow the removal of the
hopper (and thus, the bottom burr, giving easy access to the grinding
chamber) without using tools.

Nice idea. I'll remove it and mail it off to Daveb.
I realize Rancilio's intent with the stop, but, if one is paying that
little attention, rotates the hopper 360+ degrees,( the zero point is
now actually 74 or something which should make for really fast shot
timing) they should have their tamper taken away in a ceremony similar
to the British stripping rank.
Thanks for the tip
