No, you wouldn't, because technically the word 'past' is not apart of the person's title. In this case, 'past' is simply an adjective and is being used to describe, not define, the subject. On the other hand, the word 'president', as his title, would define the subject; therefore, 'president' should be capitalized.

It depends. If it's a specific title (e.g., the 2009 Presidential Inaugural Committee), yes; if it's generic (e.g., the presidential seal was placed on the podium), no.
