Regarding #1: Alignment does not casue a steering wheel vibration but it may wear a pattern in the tires over time and the pattern can cause a vibration. Check your tires by running the open palm of your hand across the tread face (look for exposed steel or cords first) and see if you feel any flat spots of uneven tread blocks. Patterns don't typicaly wear off tires unless they are very slight so if you have them, you may need both new tires (symptom) and alignment (cause).
Steering wheel vibration is most likely tire balance (or bent rims), then tire wear pattern caused by alignment or inflation problem, and finally warped braked rotors (usually eveident only under braking). Any car that you just bought should have the wheels pulled off and the brakes inspected for rotor/drum condition and amount of remaining pads/shoes.
