Answer 1

Without hearing the audio, I can't tell much.

There are methods on the MediaRecord object you can alter - Android MediaRecorder object

void     setAudioEncoder(int audio_encoder)
    Sets the audio encoder to be used for recording.
void     setAudioEncodingBitRate(int bitRate)
    Sets the audio encoding bit rate for recording.
void     setAudioSamplingRate(int samplingRate)
    Sets the audio sampling rate for recording.

Try changing those and see if any of the changes helps with the audio quality.
