Okay so do it. Since you did not ask a question, you must be seeking permission. You have my permission to create that user control.

What you are describing is exactly what User Controls are for. You can create a user control that holds all the controls you wish to repeat. For buttons, each one should raise an event so that it can interact with its parent form. You just place this user control on each of the forms that need it and handle the events on the form as they need to be.
