As for the footnotes, you first have to use a biblatex style that
automatically makes use of "\footcite". For this, you need to add the
"citestyle" option
citestyle=verbose-trad1 . What I usually do is that I renew a command
like "\citep" into "\autocite" adding the following command to the
preamble:

\renewcommand\citep{\autocite}

As for the lack of references in the footnotes, it might be due to the
lack of the bibliography's full path in the preamble.

Try this and let me know. Regards.
