Have you enabled the spacewikiwords option (by directive or adding 
$SpaceWikiWords = 1; in your config.php)?

That should cause the page titles to appear with spaces.  For spaces in 
pagelists, you will have to modify the pagelist templates to use 
{$Namespaced} or {$Titlespaced} instead of the default {$Name} markup.

Forcing the page name to contain the entire question seems like it could 
become burdensome pretty quickly.  Have you looked into other options 
(like using the title for the full question and using pagelist to 
display titles instead of page names).

Also, you may want to take a look at several recent Cookbook recipes for 
FAQ pages.
