Answer 1

clip up some of your hair and straighten it by layers, but skip a layer each time.

it's like semi straightening haha

Answer 2

yes, there is such a thing.  but the word "mild" doesn't mean its going to mildly tame your curl.  its the strength of the chemical.

i wouldn't suggest relaxing your hair unless you do a strand test to see how your hair will handle it.  

it sounds to me like you need to start taking care of those ends!  get the dead ends cut and then continue to get your hair trimmed every 6-8 weeks.  that really will help with the puffing up (which really are split ends.)
