   Dear WP friends,
   I would like to save your time (maybe your souls :-)) and provide you my approach how to hack great NextGEN gallery to get rid annoying Album 2 >> Gallery 3 page titles and absence of gallery name and description on page body itself.

   1) Principle
   I've inspired by Madjax in http://wordpress.org/support/topic/227040.

   2) (Example of) page title
   Open wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/lib/rewrite.php, locate method (function) rewrite_title(). Mark as comment, delete, or add nearly before end before return $title. Past (and customize) code:

   global $wpdb;
   
   		$gallerycontent = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->nggallery WHERE gid = '$gallery' ");
   		$albumcontent = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->nggalbum WHERE id = '$album' ");
   
   		if(!empty($gallerycontent->title)) {
   			$new_title = ' - '.$gallerycontent->title.' ('.$albumcontent->name.')';
   			$title = $new_title . $title;
   		}

   3) (Example of) gallery name and description in page body
   Firsly I created own page template for page where [album=N] shorcode is placed. Then in template file (e.g. photogallery.php) place (similar to previous) this code where you wish have gallery name and description echoed:

   global $wpdb;
   
   	$gallerycontent = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT title, galdesc FROM $wpdb->nggallery WHERE gid = '$gallery' ");
   	$albumcontent = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT name FROM $wpdb->nggalbum WHERE id = '$album' ");
   
   	if(!empty($gallerycontent->title)) {
   		$title = $gallerycontent->title.' <small>('.$albumcontent->name.')</small>';
   
   		echo '<h2>'.$title.'</h2>';
   		echo $gallerycontent->galdesc;
   	}

   (of course inside <?php and ?>)

   Hope that this brief how-to helped you!
