Not sure what text you're referring to... can you provide a screenshot or a link, or at least some more detail?

Admin area, under Orders & Payment -> Manage Order Form Shipping Fields.  Click the Update link for the comments field and change the display any way you'd like.

Well, as they say, anything is possible.  It does not strike me as straightforward though.  You'd pretty much have to hack the crap outta ste_chkout.pl, starting with ste_chkout_intro, which is where the field is currently dealt with.  It should be easy enough to take off the first page, I think; it is added to the list of necessary fields with a bit of code similar to this:

} elsif ($ordership_id eq "trackitem_shipcomment") {

$type = "TEXTAREA";
$param = "";

} else {

But getting it out is the easy part.  Putting it on the second page will require modifying ste_chkout_meth and then collecting and storing it will require modifying ste_chkout_meth_proc.  The exact details of how to pull that off are well beyond the scope of the forum though.

It might be by design... I honestly couldn't say, since I've never used that setting.  I suppose if you are shipping to the billing address, one could argue that you're not accepting a "shipping" comment.  Certainly since the shipping comment is tied to the shipping address (can have a different one for each destination, I believe), it makes sense that not displaying the shipping address would also not display the shipping comment.  You could use one of the additional checkout fields to add a general comment rather than a shipping comment (custom fields), which should accomplish the same thing.
