To your #1: Unfortunately, not without writing a custom report, which at present, is not trivial. Likely the easiest means would be to copy/paste each to a spreadsheet, showing all accounts(that is, even those with zero totals) so everything lines up between both, and then combining and customizing from there.
The same would go for #2, once in a spreadsheet, you can change the sign easily.
