Re:The significance of certain customs
The reason one should drink at least 2 ounces of wine is because ideally one should drink the majority of the wine that they recited Kidush on, the smallest size the cup should be is one that holds a "reve'et." Thus one should at least drink 2 ounces which is considered the majority of a "reve'et."
In addition to the mystical reason for holding the glass in the right hand, we try and do all Mitzvot with the right hand which is considered the main hand.
The chabad custom of holding it three handbreadths (nine inches) above the table can be found in Sefer Haminhagim - Chabad, and is based on what the Arizal explains that it should be held parallel to ones chest.
It should however be noted, that unlike how much wine one should drink, how you hold it depends on custom, as such, if it is difficult to hold that way, you should hold it any way you can.

Rosh Hashanah Thank you for making this available. I am in Baoding City China until Nov. 22. This site will be a great asset. Reply
just noting that the audio starts from Savri rather than yom hashishi as we will be reciting this year on the first night of Rosh Hashana as it is Shabbos.
