Second problem is that if I accelerate hard to pull out from a stop, it slips badly (lots of noise but little acceleration). My normal driving habits make this a rare occurence but I always have it in the back of my mid that the car is not to be put to the test when pulling-out on a busy road.

As far as the morning shifts, it sounds like it just needs to warm up. The auto in my 190 did that as well. I'd be more worried about the trans slipping. When was the last fluid and filter change? If it's been within the last year or two, then you should think about having the trans shop work on that problem; the slipping will only get worse, and the trans is out anyway.
