No, that is right.

I tried, and it works just fine.

Note that +1d is equivalent to +1
Also, note that +1d is relative to today, while ++1d is relative to  
the date where the entry is scheduled now.

About the marking, it does not make sense to mark more than a single  
item.
The idea is to make an item, then to go to a date in the agenda or in  
the calendar and press, for example, `k s' to schedule the item at  
that date.

Did you have something different in mind with marking?

I think even better are M-a and M-e, the sentence motion commands.
I have overloaded these now.

Well, each line in the agenda does indicate what the reason for the
inclusion of the line in the agenda is.
