Answer 1

You'll need to use our embed code for it to work. http://player.vimeo.com/video/68866759 is not a video file, it's an HTML page, so putting it in a video tag won't do anything.

If you replace the video tag with this it should work:

<iframe src="//player.vimeo.com/video/68866759" width="960" height="540" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>

Answer 2

Go to your Video Settings and Video File, at the bottom there is a section called Use Your Own Player, you'll find there direct urls to your video. Example:

<video src="http://player.vimeo.com/external/85569724.sd.mp4?s=43df5df0d733011263687d20a47557e4"></video>

Note: This requires a PRO Vimeo account.
