What is the difference between Pre-Form & When-New-Form-Instance?  What is their sequence of firing?

Pre-Form happens first. There are restrictions on what built-ins you can call. No block will be 'current'. If the trigger fails, then the form will be exited. It is used for doing security checks - ie if the user is not allowed to run the form, then it exits out.

When-New-Form-Instance runs later, after it has sucessfully navigated to the first navigable block, and fired any triggers as a consequence of that.
