Answer 1

Please consult Apple Help in your Mail program, here's a copy:
+From notes and messages:+
+In a note you create or receive, or in a message you receive, select the text you want to track as a to-do item and click To Do in the toolbar. Or Control-click the text and choose New To Do from the shortcut menu.+
+The item is displayed at the top of the note or message and added to the To Do list in the sidebar.+
+Set options for the to-do item or view the original text.+
+To change the item’s title or add more text, click in the field and start typing. The original text remains unchanged in a note or message you received; in a note you created, the original text is updated with your changes.+
+To set options or add the item to an iCal calendar, click the Details arrow to the left of the item title.+
+To highlight the original text in the note or message, click the down arrow to the right of the item.+
