Answer 1

You need to add the ListTemplateId or ListUrl to the Receiver element,
E.g. If you had a list definition with the template ID 10500, then your event receiver XML would look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<Receivers ListTemplateId="10500" >
<Receiver>
<Name>CIBDocumentHandlerItemAdding</Name>
<Type>ItemAdding</Type>
<Assembly>Common.SharePoint.Web, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=68d03adf96d84a47</Assembly>
        <Class>Common.SharePoint.Web.Handlers.CIBDocumentHandler</Class>
<SequenceNumber>10500</SequenceNumber>
</Receiver>
</Receivers>
</Elements>
