locking onto the nearest runway is an option you check in the virtual cockpit mode by right clicking. you might try right clicking and going into normal VC mode.

the best way to center your screen without it being a Pain in the Arse is to hit space bar to activate mouse look and center it as best you can and then hit space bar again to disable mouse look.
