He also inserted a fart joke into a moment that didn't deserve it. The dub is above average, but the original with subs is the best way to watch the film. Mononoke Hime is still in my top 25 films. If you haven't seen it, please treat yourself. I think it's far better than Sen to Chihiro / Spirited Away. (FWIW, I bought the domain for Miramax's original marketing page and kept it online: http://princess-mononoke.com)

Who is Kaya, and in what part of the movie does Ashitaka have a romantic partner?

Kaya is the girl at the beginning who meets with Ashitaka secretly after he’s been banished from the village, and gives him the necklace as a memento.
