Answer 1

If you have 30GB at OS level then please configure the memory correctly...
maximum server memory in mb = 2147483647
minimum server memory in mb = 10240
May be based on the load you can consider using 80% to sql and 20 % to OS or 70% to SQL and 30 % to OS ( but its all based on your SQL and OS usage ).
If your sql is not using more memory then that means sql instance is not performing too many transactions and load is very less.
Check what is running on your server and it will take memory and other resources based on the needs and work load.

Configure using scripts :
sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO
sp_configure 'max server memory', 25000; -- ( 25 GB )
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO
