Answer 1

Did you try use pytesseract.image_to_data()?

data = pytesseract.image_to_data(img, output_type=Output.DICT)
boxes = len(data['level'])
for i in range(boxes ):
    (x, y, w, h) = (data['left'][i], data['top'][i], data['width'][i], data['height'][i])
    #Draw box        
    cv2.rectangle(img, (x, y), (x + w, y + h), (0, 255, 0), 2)
