Answer 1

It looks like a type of ichneumon wasp. I'm not sure of the exact type though.

Answer 2

It is one of the thread-waisted wasp.  Some of these species are responsible for plant galls, particularly in woody vegetation.

I'm thinking it's a type of ichneumon wasp.  I don't know enough about them to identify the species but maybe this will help:

Ichneumonidae *family*  you would likely need a specialist (with a book) to get to species.
