Answer 1

American Eagle

Answer 2

Based on the crank sprocket design and the frame design it is a Huffy from about 1967 and perhaps as late as 1975.

Curiously enough, American Eagle bikes were made by Huffy but to my recollection never used the Huffy sprocket design or the dual headlight tank.

If you are wondering about value, I had that same bike which was built in 1969, except it was a deep turquoise color instead of blue and was in almost perfect condition when I sold it for $60. Womens bikes are almost worthless except to those that tear them apart to use for restoring mens bikes- which is what happened to mine.
