Answer 1

Chicago has a pretty good rail system downtown called the "EL".  You can take the EL directly from Midway to downtown via the "Orange" Line.

You can travel around Chicago easily via bus, rail, or cab with no need to drive.  You can also walk, the Magnificant Mile is a good place to see the sights.

Answer 2

Take the CTA train (Chicago Transit Authority)- the Orange Line runs from Midway all the way to downtown Chicago. There are actually free trolleys that visit several of the touristy spots (Navy Pier, the museum campus, etc.) but I'm not sure what hours they run. Chicago has a pretty good bus and train system. The CTA website is helpful in planning a route from point A to point B.
