Answer 1

You may select "Camera (PTP)" as connection type, which at least allows you to transfer image files. MTP does not work for me either on a stock Ubuntu 12.04.

Alternatively you can install an app like "File Expert Manager Explorer" or "WiFi File Explorer PRO". They allow for wireless transfer of files.

Finally it is possible to transfer files with adb (part of Android SDK package). See this for details.
