Tony, Re: Q2: The screen capture program I use (SnagIt) does capture the whole page by auto scrolling when it captures the web page - the final image is a longer one than when viewing through a browser. When you source a web page, also include an access date. Therefore if the page disappears after that date, you have a recorded date of when you viewed it, and an image of what it was.
