Answer 1

you can file for a provisional patent for $100, it proves the idea is yours and protects for 1 year. patents are a scam though because people will still make "knock-offs" and get away with it if they just change 1 little thing about the invention.. but at least you can make the most money from your ideas before they jump in too.
