1.) The sentence is correct, but the sentence order sounds a bit unnatural in my opinion. (:
You will be more likely to hear "he didn't come back until midnight" in an everyday conversation. "Not until midnight did he come back" sounds more narrative, and is most likely to be found in writing rather than spoken.
2.) For this one, I can only speak for American schools.
This is what I most commonly hear the head of the schools called:
Elementary School (Grade School): Prinicipal
Middle School (Junior High): Principal
High School: Principal
College (University): Dean
