Lenin covers your 1st. https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/imp-hsc/ Paul Sweezy has worked on this issue too: http://monthlyreview.org/1994/06/01/the-triumph-of-financial-capital/ Both built on the work of Marx.

Marx refuted Malthus, point the 2nd. http://www.colorado.edu/Sociology/gimenez/work/popissue.html

The third one I don't have as quick an answer on, but the industrial revolution was a result of the rise of capitalism, so I'm sure Marx was aware of how humans were being replaced by machines. Different theorists have tackled this issue.

That's the thing about theoretical work, people can build on it.

I see in the comments there, that you wanted to draw attention to the aspect of speed. I hope you'll elaborate.
