Answer 1

You don't need to use the ConfigurationFactory when you use a XML-Configuration file. Just make sure your XML file is setup correctly.

Filename must be log4j2.xml

The file must me added to the classPath.

Get the logger with the right name in your applicaton, the same name you used to set up the logger in your xml-file, have a look here.
