You can also edit the fields in Acrobat Pro after exporting. You can use the shift-click or Cmd/Cntl-click to select the fields.

You can't set the alignment (left, right, center) of form fields in InDesign natively, unfortunately.

You may want to look at something like my FormMagic (https://www.id-extras.com/products/formmagic/) script, which would allow you to do this in InDesign.

It's free for short, 1-page forms.
