Answer 1

Now can you pls correct me if i am wrong that after purging the server cache and * not pruging presentation server cache * IBOT will take the latest data from the database.Yes it will take latest data from DB and your right .If you purge server cache everything is cleaned up and when presentation server is run it should talk to BI server to fetch the details so as to accomodate the presentation server cache as requested.
There is another method to purge cache after every ETL run,you need to create an ibot to fire it and write a custom script so it purges the old data and we need to schedule it after the ETL run...so it cleans up data and when end user comes next day and want to see fresh data it is there to see.It might help you
