Answer 1

If it is still in your house..get it out in a humane way..bats are very important to the ecosystem and should not be harmed. Use a net, or throw a lightweight sheet or towel over it to release it outside.  Look here for tips on how to capture and safely handle a bat when removing from your home.

Answer 3

It probably was a bat.  Bats hide in concealed places for protection as they sleep.  At night they come out to hunt for insects.  Wait until night and then watch for it.  The best way to catch it is with a butterfly net.  That way yo do not hurt it.  Butterfly nets are usually pretty inexpensive.  Also where a pair of leather gloves.
