In reverse order...
Drill the the broken bolt and use an EASY OUT or similar Extractor. It is my go to on all my rebuilds. I have pulled out some really tough broke ones that were in tight spots. Tight spot may require a right angle drill. Soak it with a penetrating fluid like wd-40 to losen and break up the rust. May need to do this a few times to let it soak down deep before you drill it. Make sure the drill bit is smaller than the threads or you will have to tap it.
Heat and cold applied can help. Just remember heat expands metal and the opposite with cold. Use caution do this or you can make it worse.
If that will not pull it then you are stuck drilling it at the shank diameter and retapping the threads.
I will answer the other question later
