I will get the first taken care of. The anchor does not need to be quad-word aligned. For the second, as has been pointed out in C syntax but I think not in words, you would do what everyone used to do prior to STARTBDY keyword of GETMAIN / STORAGE OBTAIN -- round the start address up to the necessary boundary, having gotten an additional 8 if you need the length to be some specific value (or 15 if you do are not guaranteed that the area will at least be on a doubleword boundary). The rounding is typically "Add 15, AND with -16".
