Pitch is normal, as it is based off of the center of gravity for the aircraft. May be a bit aft, but certainly not out of limits. The NO TDZ stands for no touchdown zone. This means the arrival runway is not selected. Selecting it in the FMC will clear this. You can do this from the DEP ARR section. Good luck!
Also keep in mind your RVSM altitudes. Right now it is showing you at 310 on a westerly heading. It should be even altitudes west, odd east. The gouge is "East is least, west is best".

As Chris said, remember, odd going east, even going west - I remember it by "odd in the east, even in the west"
