Mollye, I think #2 is pretty easy -- I'd just create a BookNumber variable that lived in all of the book's component files. Pick one master file, insert the variable in the footer on the master page(s). Then set the contents of the variable in that master file, and Import > Formats > Variables and Page Layouts into all the component files.
Number 1, though, I'd only try to play with if you're sure the chapter orders are not going to change. I think the only way you could do it automatically is with FrameScript... I'd keep that one looser, myself, and just have separate tags for ChapterNumber and ChapterTitle. Then type the actual chapter title in as text. And use <$paratext> variables or cross-references to propagate it.
