its called AC idle up and perfectly normaly. when the AC clutch engages it increases the resistance on the fan belts. the ecu compensates by ideling the engine up.
as for prob 2, normally happens when AC drain is clogged up and overflows. exit of the drain is on passanger side underneath intake manifold on firewall, clear it out and that shall fix that problem. depending on where it has been blocked simple tools like coat hange or similar may remove the problem.

Be careful poking anything metal up the drain tube as you can damage the evaporator.
Best to gently poke a cable tie up to try and unblock the tube. |

Compressed air would only blow any dirt back into the evaporator, you want to try and get it out not push it back where it will eventually block again.
