Answer 1

you will find this example from w3schools very useful for your need plus it gives you elegant scrolling move compatable with all browsers, check below code :

  // Add smooth scrolling to all links
  $("a").on('click', function(event) {

// Make sure this.hash has a value before overriding default behavior
if (this.hash !== "") {

    // Prevent default anchor click behavior
    event.preventDefault();

    // Store hash
    var hash = this.hash;

    // Using jQuery's animate() method to add smooth page scroll
    // The optional number (800) specifies the number of milliseconds it takes to scroll to the specified area

      $('html, body').animate({
          scrollTop: $(hash).offset().top
       }, 800, function(){

      // Add hash (#) to URL when done scrolling (default click behavior)
      // obvously you will ignore this step because you want to remove the hash in first place - but just in case you want turn it on again

      window.location.hash = hash;
    });
   } // End if
  });
});
