Answer 1

You should start your function names with a lowercase letter (as per Mr Crockford) and use more descriptive function names.

In order to set the value of a select list, use option[value='x'] syntax. Assuming you'd like to set the second option:

events : {
  'change #ddpFilter' : 'filterDdpSelect'
},

filterDdpSelect: function(e){
  var selectValue = 2;
  $("#ddpFilter option[value='" + selectValue + "']").attr("selected", "selected");
}
