Answer 1

I think you can't play only one tactic. What tactic you are playing depend from many reasons: are you playing at home or away, how many goals you want to score, do you have injury players etc. Force the best players. If you have good attackers play with three of them. Or if you have good midfielders play with 5 of them. Also, bad defense you can cover with more players in midfield. Try more options. Be creative!

Answer 2

well use

4-4-2

or

4-3-3

or even
