I want one of the new bath vanities that looks like a piece of furniture; how is the installation different from the old kind? Also, I have metal wall studs, will sheet metal screws work?
If the vanity is smaller in width, it leaves 1" on the side next to a wall, that means it is open on that side and stays open? Or do I move the vanity over so it is flush with the side wall but the sink is not centered over the plumbing?
(I don't want a bigger vanity in a small bathroom, the obvious choice being a replacement to fit the old one perfectly; an older style of built-in vanity would have pieces to cover any gaps between itself and the wall).

move it over the plumbing can be adjusted easily or center it and buy pieces of 1x2's and cut to size to fill gaps and stain to match vanity color,you can glue or tack the 1x2's to the vanity before you place it against wall,your done.

myself, I would move it over flush to the wall. It doesn't matter if it is centered perfectly over the plumbing if you use flexible supply line. The p-trap in the drain line will adjust to the new position nicely
