This depends on the LaTeX class you use -- from memory, the class
"report" dedicates one page to the title page, and centers the title
vertically (or somewhat close.)

OK but where in the org file to put the pagebreake after the table of content. When I put the pagebreake in the beginning of the org-file i have a blank page in the begening of my document.

Just use \pagebreak in your Org file.

#+LaTeX: \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.5}

before the part you want to modify, and

#+LaTeX: \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1}

to go back to a normal interline after this part.

Cool but it apply on title, not on regular paragraph text

Yes - customize `org-export-latex-classes' to your needs, adding
\documentclass[11pt]{article} where it makes sense.

It is posible to do that but only when i need it... like the interline.

It's not currently possible, but we can imagine a helper function for
that.  For now I would suggest: just store the empty table in a register:
select the table, `C-x r s', then `C-x r i' when you want to insert the
empty table again.
