1. I would like to be able to modify my footnotes so that instead of being labeled by numbers, they can be labeled by the star or diamond or clover symbols, or any other symbol I prefer.
See sec. 4.2.1 "Footnote Numbering" of the EmbeddedObjects manual that you find in LyX's Help menu.
2. I would like to be able to create the red box link on my footnotes so that I can click on them in the main text, and they can send me directly to the corresponding footnote text at the bottom of the page.
This is done when you enable hyperref in the menu Document->Settings->PDF Properties. Note that you then have to use the PDF export/view method pdflatex. The other variants don't support all hyperref features.
For more info about hyperref, see sec. 6.9 "PDF Properties" of the LyX UserGuide. regards Uwe
