Answer 1

For a numbering scheme that goes
A
1
1.1
1.2
1.3
2
2.1 etc.
you have three levels. The first and second levels increment +1 each
time they occur. The third level is the number to the right of the
period, and it also increments +1 each time. The number that shows up to
the left of the period is a number placeholder for the second level (the
button to the right of the Number: field in Numbering Style). It will
not increment, but picks up the whatever number was last displayed at
the second level. So assuming you've got 3 levels in this list scheme,
your Number: for the 3rd level (the 1.1 level) would look something like
this:
^2.^#^t
The ^2 is the number placeholder, displaying whatever number showed up
in the last level 2 instance. The ^# is the current third level number.
And the ^t is a tab.
