1. either cyano or coralline. If it brushed off easily its cyano and needs to be dealt with, but coralline is good thing!

2. sounds like pineapple sponges, harmless filter feeder

thanks

That sounds like bubble algae, i would remove it very carefully by hand. If you pop them you can release spores.

Also i would say no to the fish
