Answer 1

The short answer is yes.  But you might want to check your owners manual.  If you don't have one of those check the manufacturers website.

Answer 2

Yes, the cable is just saying that it can support data up to 1080p, it will accept and transmit all data below that including 1080i.

If your TV has HDMI, any HDMI cable will work, just make sure you set the resolution in the player or cable or sat box to 1080i to match the TV's native resolution.
