I'm always impressed by how well the posters here prepare for their marathons. You are no exception to being well prepared.
1. Running 45 mpw and completing 5 long runs is great. You will have the endurance to run this marathon. The typical advice to run at a conservative pace for 16 to 20 miles and then, if you have more in you, to pick up the pace for the last 10m or 10k is always appropriate.
2. You can eat anything that you can digest. The important thing to me is to not have any food in the digestive track come gun time on Sunday morning, so work backwards from there as to when you should stop eating the "lead weight" type of foods. Both carbohydrates and fiber are good choices for late Saturday.
3. Perhaps someone else can give you advice for injury. Marathon day is not a good choice for a lingering pain.
You will love the Marine Corps Marathon -- huge crowds, hundreds of Marines in support, and a scenic route.
Good luck!
