Answer 1

Get a good quality u-lock.  Don;t get one of the cheap ones from discount stores.  A thief can pop these cheap locks open in under 30 seconds with two screwdrivers.  

The locks you want comes from a bike shop and has a bike replacement guarantee if it is stolen.  They run about $40.  

Reflectors make bikes look like they came from a discount store and are less likely to get stolen.

Be sure to record the frame serial number.  If your city has a bike registration program, use it.

Answer 2

i dont really believe there is such a device besides gps haha.  but yeah you just have to be responsible and never let it out of your sight,
