Answer 1

I found a solution.
This is the code with which I am able to show the custom attribute value in the Magento admin order view:

<?php
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')
    ->loadByAttribute('sku', $_item->getSku(), array('x'));
echo $product->getX();

Place this code in app/design/adminhtml/default/default/templates/sales/items/column/name.phtml where x is the code for your attribute – replace it with your attribute code.
In admin, attribute properties should be:

Values Required = no
Visible on Product View Page on Front-end = no
Scope = global
