Answer 1

It would depend on the type of retainer you have, a lingual fixed shouldn't be a problem for white strips.  You can also have bleaching trays made, the solution on goes on the anterior of the teeth.  Discuss your options with your dental office, they will be more than happy to help you.  

Arm and Hammer toothpaste should not cause any damage to the fixed retainer.
