Answer 1

Yes you can do that by specifying a Custom Action. Sample looks something like this:

    <CustomAction
    Id="Test"
    Location="EditControlBlock"
    Sequence="1000"
    Title="Test Title"
    RegistrationType="ContentType"
    RegistrationId="0x0120"
    Rights="ManagePermissions"
    Description="Test Description"
    >
    <UrlAction Url="~site/_layouts/TestProject/TestPage.aspx?ListID={ListId}&amp;ID=            {ItemId}"/>
    </CustomAction>

I have written a blog post which shows how to conditionally show an ECB menu item. Here the condition I check is whether versioning is enabled or not. You can extend it to fix you issue. http://sharepointnadeem.blogspot.in/2012/07/conditionally-show-menu-item-in-ecb-menu.html
