Answer 1

No, there's nothing wrong with that.  My younger sister was my MOH and she was 16.  Depending on what state you live in, she may not be able to sign the marriage license, but that's not a big deal.  Most states require that the witnesses be 18, but some states (like Minnesota) only require the person to be 16.  If she can't sign it, you can have another guest or a bridesmaid sign it.

Answer 2

Not at all wrong. However, she won't be able to sign the paperwork, you need someone legal age to do that -
