Hi Andrew Not sure about #1 but #2 could be that Lion & Mountain Lion now remember the files you previously had open, so when you're opening Preview it opens all the files that were open last time. You can disable this behaviour in System Preferences > General > Tick "Close windows when quitting an application.
Just to check for #1 is the quicktime player's volume set down to 0? Worth a shot!
