For this last thing the following pretty bad work-around should work:

#+ATTR_LaTeX: align=p{4cm}p{4cm}
#+LaTeX: {}\titlebox{8cm}{El presente (singular): Llamarse y ser.}{ %}
  | *LLAMARSE*              | *SER*            |
  | *Me llam\rsh{}* Isabel. | *\rsh{}* Isabel. |
  | ¿Cómo *te llam\rsh{}?*  | ¿Quién *eres*?   |
  | *Se llam\rsh{}* Ana.    | *\rsh{}* Ana.    |
#+LaTeX: }

A better way would probably be to create an environment that makes the  
title box,
so that the table is not an argument of a LaTeX macro (which Org-mode  
always protects).

#+ATTR_LaTeX: align=p{4cm}p{4cm}
#+LaTeX: {}\begin{mytitlebox}{8cm}{El presente (singular): Llamarse y  
ser.}
  | *LLAMARSE*              | *SER*            |
  | *Me llam\rsh{}* Isabel. | *\rsh{}* Isabel. |
  | ¿Cómo *te llam\rsh{}?*  | ¿Quién *eres*?   |
  | *Se llam\rsh{}* Ana.    | *\rsh{}* Ana.    |
#+LaTeX: \end{mytitlebox}

I do not know how to define such an environment, but I am sure
that this is easy to do.  The same should work with lists.
