Answer 1

having keywords in your URL can be a benefit, especially over time. If the only way to get those keywords is to include a hyphen in the URL, that may be OK as well. One hyphen is considered fine. However, putting hyphens between each word can be considered spammy and cause your site to not rank well at all if those hyphenated words are competitive.

Answer 2

There are a lot of factors to take into account like how competitive your keywords or market is. You may be better of targeting long tail keywords much easer to rank for.
