Answer 1

Based on the documentation of ItemListener

Invoked when an item has been selected or deselected by the user. The code written for this method performs the operations that need to occur when an item is selected (or deselected).

This suggested that you will receive an event when an item is deselected or selected. Seen as a change in the selected item in the combo box requires that the currently selected item has to be deselected first, it stands to reason that you will receive a ItemEvent.DESELECTED and ItemEvent.SELECTED event
