Can't help with Q#2, but for Q#1 here are a couple of ideas:
One option (perhaps not ideal) would be to prepend a carriage return ('!C')
to your xaxis annotation, thereby shifting the entire annotation down away from
the axis. Another possibility (probably even less desirable) would be to use
XYOUTS to position the xaxis annotation explicitly instead of having PLOT do
it for you.
Take your pick. Enjoy.
