Answer 1

Create a menu

function onOpen() {
   menu();
}

function menu() {
  DocumentApp.getUi().createMenu('MyMenu')
  .addItem('Function Descript', 'functionName')
  .addToUi();  
}

function functionName() {
  //a function that does nothing
}

Your best bet is to learn how to do this on your own so that you don't have to return here everytime you require a modification.

If you wish to add buttons I would recommend placing them on a sidebar with html. That will take a little more effort but in the long run it will be worth learning how to build and reuse the html file.
