The 1) problem may directly related to the 2) problem,
if there is no lib there is not need for dependencies...

First fix 2) then go back to 1).

Pre-compiling header or compiling code is not the same job,
I don't know if pre-compiled headers may be put inside a lib.
Are you able to do that "by hand" (i.e. not with CMake) with Visual Studio?

For pre-compiled header support in CMake you may browse
the following tracker item
http://www.vtk.org/Bug/view.php?id=1260
or ask other people.

I'm not using pre-compiled header at all so won't give you any advice
in this area.
