Answer 1

maybe try carving a few tiny sculptures

maybe a blowpipe and make darts

Answer 2

I dont know names of specific hobbies the include bamboo but here are a few suggestions of things you could make.  if you are lucky to have bamboo with a large girth you could make long trinket boxes by using a whole section of bamboo on its side, cutting the top third of the bamboo off lengthways and hinging it for a lid. or how about a josh stick holder,  a flute, panpipes or panflute.  You could clean, dry and sell bamboo sticks for gardening purposes.
