Answer 1

$SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$ is a replacement token that VisualStudio will automatically replace with the real 4-part name of your assembly when you build the project.

What you can do is add a little Powershell snippet as an "external tool" in your Tools menu in VisualStudio which will output the 4-part assembly full name to the Output window in VS. Link here to the instructions on how to do that.

You can then use that information (the real 4-part name) in your Powershell above for adding the event receiver in production.
