So you restore versions until you find the one you want.  It's slightly 
tedious, OTOH, maybe you shouldn't be emptying your trash so often or 
quickly.  You can get free utilities that automatically empty your 
trash, too, after a period that you set.

Time Machine automatically makes hourly backups for the past 24 hours, 
daily backups for the past month, and weekly backups for all previous 
months. The oldest backups are deleted when your backup disk is full.

No.  Just those files you elect to restore.
