If you're on an open-brace, C-M-f will go to one character past the  
closing brace; C-M-b will go back. (Not sure about #ifdef's, although  
C-c C-p and C-c C-n might be what you want.

Not sure about the help, but:

    M-c will capitalize the word starting at the point (cursor).
    M-l will lowercase the word ....
    M-u will uppercase the word ....
