From this point forward, try to keep questions to one per thread, though 1 and 2 in this instance are a good example of related questions that could be grouped together.

1. The Orc's ignore curses ability - Can this ability be used to wipe out permanent curses as well when they've already been on the table for some time? (as in, I had a curse for a while, then became an Orc later)

No. It must be done when the Curse first appears. Only a Wishing Ring, or similar Item, can remove a continuing Curse.

2. Regarding 1. - Other than the text, is there any particular way to tell which curses are instant and which ones are permanent? Although I can't remember particular examples at the moment, I seem to recall that there were a couple curses that had ambiguous wording that made me wonder whether they were instant or permanent.

The Curse will typically say if it is to remain on the table, but the rules also state that if a Curse has a continuing effect, it's to remain on the table.

3. When Kicking Down the Door, if a curse card turns up or something else like Divine Intervention, can the Annihilation card be used to cancel it? I ask because turning up a card doesn't seem the same as "playing" a card, but this might work and I don't know.

We treat those types of cards as just played, so Annihilation can be used on a Curse, Monster, or Divine Intervention found by kicking open the door.

4. I am presuming that - since there's no specification - a thief can steal as many times as he/she wants in any given turn, during anyone's turn (except during combat), and even if he/she is level 1 and fails the steal. Is this correct?

Hmmm. Not quite, but close. A Thief can steal as many times as he wants, assuming he has the cards to discard, during anyone's turn, but not while he is in combat, and not from someone who is in combat.
