Answer 1

Refresh on demand is exacly that. That means that there is no automatism doing the refresh for you. You have to do it - and you made a syntax mistake. It works as shown above.
You have also other possibilities to refresh:
1) with a schedule that you provide with the create materialized view stmt
2) on commit - also specified with the create mv
Then you would not have to exec dbms_mview.refresh manually (on demand)
