Answer 1

Both of the above are fine but I found out that altering the form might not always lead to desirable results, mainly because exposed filters are themed using a specifc theme template. The proper way of changing the theme would be to override the views-exposed-form.tpl file in your theme's folder. Bear in mind that this will apply to all exposed filter forms, to theme a specific one, you will need to use a different name for that filename, like:

views-exposed-form--TITLE--DISPLAY.tpl.php
views-exposed-form--TITLE.tpl.php

and some others, you can check the Theme: Information section of your views for template naming conventions.
