1. While she has little involvement in politics beyond dictating Gaoling Province's de facto government in its Board of Commerce, Toph's philosophies would be considered "Clayish". She believes the Earth Kingdom's best chance for victory is for it to be rearranged along Fire Nation lines.
2. In the event of her death, there's a pre-arranged contract to ensure her parents don't enjoy the spoils of her aluminum fortune. Or much of anything else for that matter.
3. While she originally developed it as a party trick during the winter months at Ba Sing Se, Toph actually can read and write. She uses ink spiked with iron salts to make characters her earthbending can detect. Her vocabulary is fairly limited, however, because she's only been working on her literacy for about the last four years. Her calligraphy is is charitably described as functional, with her characters a mish-mash of styles carbon copied from her various tutors.
