About your question number 1, I found this:
"In the AUTO or ALTN mode, the pressurization control panel is used to preset two altitudes into the auto controllers:
•FLT ALT (flight or cruise altitude).
•LAND ALT (landing or destination airport altitude)."
FCOM B737NG, page 2.40.4
I also know that the Pressurization controller set the cabin altitude 200 Ft below when you set TAKE OFF THRUST, and also 300 Ft below when you land, but I couldn't remember where I read it.
In my company, we set airport altitude.
