Gear selection is not automated, but all of the NPCs from the GameMastery Guide and the NPC Guide are already entered into HL - you may be able to find one similar to the NPC you're shooting for, and start with that, so that you can leave the character's gear alone.
In the same menu where you'd choose whether a PC would get the Standard Fantasy: 15, high-fantasy: 20, etc., you can choose to use the basic or heroic NPC arrays instead. Once you've selected those, HL will tell you which of the numbers in the array you have used and which you haven't as you set the various attributes.
The statblock is available from the file menu...output active hero statblock, and is currently pretty close to Paizo's official statblock format.
I'm afraid that the statblock does not include more than a line of description for each of the abilities.
