As for number 1 can't say much about it, I do not get it either. But 2
happens because you've used apt-get upgrade instead of apt-get
dist-upgrade. Packages that will uninstall some packages already
installed on your system and that will change some dependencies 
require dist-upgrade. It happens always in case of linux-image packages. 
It will leave your previous working linux-image on though, but will 
uninstall one older than that, so you will always end up with chance to 
boot in working kernel, if new one messes up some things.
