I can't help with your first problem, but when I was having trouble seeing images I was given some useful advice. If you put Showbox before Image it will create the outline of a box containing the objects in the display, and therefore can be used to determine if any objects are present. You will need to remove Showbox to see the objects. Also, use Reset in the View Control dialog of Image to reset the camera settings to point at the centre of the object scene and render all existing objects. Another point to remember is that if you are viewing a flat surface edge-on you will see nothing - you will need to change the view or rotate the image.
