the only you should advance the timing is if you have a reason to advance the timing: performance/race camshafts or if timing is slightly off the factory specs. by advancing the timing to 18 degrees you will, in theory gain more lower end power. But the only true way you will know if you gained any power is by putting it on the dyno.
to answer your second question. by using the lower octane 87 the performance of your engine will decrease and might start knocking. there's a reason honda recommends you use at least 91 octane or higher on that engine. main reason is that it is a high compression engine and designed to use the higher octane fuel.
