In a cross like ruth wright x primulinum is the first plant always the pollen parent and the second the pod parent? Which parent is usually thought to be dominant? In a cross like the above, would the fact that one is a very mixed hybrid and the other a species alter which plant might be dominant? {i.e. whats the chance its going to look just like a bulldog?} Thanks

In your example Ruth Wright would be the seed parent. A cross is written seed x pollen. Also as Ruth Wright is a hybrid it should have capital initial letters. Lower case indicates a species.

I can't help with your other queries.
