As for cutting out the sound hole, I made four passes, going slowly. Make sure your bit is new or confirmed that it is really sharp.

Regarding the top & back linings. There are at least 2 schools of thought. First, 90 degrees. Even if the top is domed, there is a slight "re-curve" effect similar to a carved archtop or violin. Second, matching the angle to the dome/curvature of the top & back. This can be done by hand with a plane, sanding block, or a domed piece of wood with sandpaper glued to it.
