I have read that it can live on surfaces for 6 days. Dead bodies still have the virus, which is why cremation is essential. Also, it shows up in the semen of survivors for 90 days.

If it is the one from West Africa (seems likely) it is Zaire. However even the earlier cases were only 97% the same, so apparently there has been a mutation of sorts.

I can’t remember the answer to the other question.
