Yes. Mine lessed greatly when I started exercising regular (walking's the best), stopped drinking caffinated beverages, and drank LOTS of water.
Cramping also stopped when I did the above.

Yes, this is normal.
PCOS changes the hormonal feedback loops for menstruation and that can result in heavier periods.
The clotting doesn't mean much - just that the blood was in the uterus long enough to clot. That's normal.
There are a few things to help:
1) Exercise vigorously 30 minutes/day
2) Try using metformin (need a doctor to RX this) which can help revert your cycle back to normal (and likely will make it easier to lose weight)
3) Birth control pills will help normalize the periods - but could cause more weight gain.

There are higher risks for many things (high blood pressure, blood clots, diabetes, and many other things) when you have PCOS, but if it is treated properly, then those risks are lowered.
