Answer 2

On the raileurope website, you can only buy the full ticket, and if you're booking a night train, click on details and it tells you whether you're in a T6 or T4 couchette compartment, and if you click on the most expensive it's probably a better compartment.  The only problem is if you have a railpass, there's no way just to reserve and pay the supplement for a couchette.  My advice is to go to a train station as soon as you get to Europe and book the reservations there.  If you have a railpass, show it to them and they will only charge you the supplement.  If a train station can't do it for a train in another country, try a travel agency in Europe that sells train tickets.  I was able to pay for  a couchette supplement in Amsterdam for a train in Germany.  In some cases you can just book it the morning of the departure, but popular routes can sell out, so it's better to go a day or two in advance.  There's a great wwebsite about train travel that might have some info for you.   http://www.seat61.com
