Answer 1

Under the help menu, there should be a menu item labeled "About Eclipse" I can't say with absolute precision because I'm using STS which is the same thing but my label is different.

In the dialog box that opens after you click the relevant about menu item there should be an installation details button in the lower left hand corner.

The version of Java that you're running Eclipse against ought to be in "System properties:" under the "Configuration" tab.
