My french colonies are not getting any idea groups that give colonies. I was hoping these guys would do some self colonize but their first idea set is trade of all things. Is it suppose to be like that?
Why do my colonial nations not get exploration or expansion ideas?

CN have a colonist as a NI...
But on the whole I have seen CN colonise by themselves... You just need to fund them.

I wish my colonial nations picked up trade first, that helps me a lot more then them trying to colonize tropical provinces early game :d
My experience is that their first two idea groups are always Trade and Expansion. Mind you, they don't usually colonize on their own until they get relatively large and can afford it.
I hate it when the CN tries to colonise a province that is virtually impossible for it to finish (due to the CN penalties). We need some way of forcing a CN to abandon a colony, I think, or telling them to target certain provinces for colonisation.
Also, I imagine that CNs start out a lot poorer now that any provinces the motherland gives them start with 75% autonomy, so they'll struggle to do much of anything until they've been established for a few decades.
I seem to remember that when I went colonizing, the LA immediately dropped to either 0% or 50% when the CN got the provinces.
Correct, provinces 'remember' what LA they would have if the minimum didn't apply, and immediately change to that when given to the CN.
That's handy. Does the same rule apply if you conquer a province that was overseas for its original owner, but not overseas for you?
Do CNs get idea slots filled in when they're formed now or are they still empty even if you formed one in the 1700s?
