Answer 1

With jQuery, the following will force all links to work, and have the 'pointer' cursor:

$(document).ready(function () {

    $('a')
        .click(function () {        
            window.location = $(this).attr('href');
        })
        .hover(function () {
            $(this).css('cursor', 'pointer');
        });

});

I've tested this simulating IE7 with IE8 in compatibility view mode, but can't guarantee it will for IE7 on its own.

You may want to apply this more selectively -- I suspect that, as is, this might slow down older browser performance -- in which case apply a class (like ) to all links that are broken this way, and just change $('a') to $('.myClass')
