Answer 1

Set the use_directory_urls setting to false in your mkdocs.yml config file:
use_directory_urls: false
The documentation explains:
This setting controls the style used for linking to pages within the
documentation.
The following table demonstrates how the URLs used on the site differ
when setting use_directory_urls to true or false.
Source file | Generated HTML | use_directory_urls: true | use_directory_urls: false
------------ | -------------------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------
index.md | index.html | / | /index.html
api-guide.md | api-guide/index.html | /api-guide/ | /api-guide/index.html
about.md | about/index.html | /about/ | /about/index.html
The default style of use_directory_urls: true creates more user
friendly URLs, and is usually what you'll want to use.
The alternate style can occasionally be useful if you want your
documentation to remain properly linked when opening pages directly
from the file system, because it create links that point directly to
the target file rather than the target
directory.
The last paragraph is the key to why this makes a difference.
