Answer 1

Ok So I asked on the Japanese Fourms and this is the answer I got back. To be honest I had tried this on my work computer before and it did not work but it is working on my home computer so maybe this will help you.
Mavericks (OS 10.9)ではことえりのユーザ辞書の仕様が変わりました。
The way you do this action has changed with the change to Maveriks.
1）まず、ことえり入力メソッドを追加する必要があります。
Make sure that you have added the Kotoeri Method (I think you have)
     →　Add the Kotoeri input method
2）既に追加済みであれば、こちらのヘルプをご確認下さい。
Next use the below link to help you add words to your dictionary.
     →　Add words and symbols to a user dictionary
Pretty much you add things to your dictionary like you would add shortcut word like (R) becomes ®.
1. While using Kotoeri, choose Edit Text Substitutions from the Input menu (looks like a flag or character) in the menu bar.
2. In the text pane of Keyboard preferences, click Add to add a word.
3. Type the hiragana reading of the word in the Replace field. Readings of registered words can be no longer than 32 characters. If you’re registering an adjective, make sure to enter the reading in its dictionary form. The ending must be 〜い (~i). For example, あたらしい (atarashii) or たかい (takai). If you’re registering an adverb, don’t include inflective endings, such as 〜な (-na) or 〜だ (-da).
4. Click the With column, then type the replacement word in the With field.A word can be no longer than 64 characters.
Hope this helps you out. I will have to wait until Tuesday to find out if it works on my work computer.
Happy Chinese New Year.
