Answer 1

extended_valid_elements is not the best choice here. Hava a look at the valid_elements setting. Here is an example

    // The valid_elements option defines which elements will remain in the edited text when the editor saves.
    valid_elements: "@[id|class|title|style|data-options|data*]," +
    "a[name|href|target|title]," +
    "#p,-ol,-ul,-li,br,img[src|height|width],-b,-i,-u," +
    "-span[data-mce-type],hr",
