    Power to turn a horizontal cylinder

    The chain gears don't really come into play, if assuming full efficiency here. Gear systems most often operate at constant power. The power you need in the motor is the total kinetic energy of the rotating system divided by the time required to get to max speed. Depending on where those wood...

    Confusion about positional tolerance for rectangular pins

    Seems to me like the manufacturing process would most likely be on a CNC machine, in which case the result will be far more precise than the tolerance margins specified. I'd go with removing the tolerances, and just specify ISO 2768-MK in your drawing.
