Answer 1

You can display author's list by using function wp_list_authors

And for author Template Hierarchy see below link

Answer 2

Use function get_users(). It returns an array of all authors. With foreach it is possible to loop over the array and display its content. There are a lot of attributes going with the user object. Here is an example:

$users = get_users();
foreach ($users as $user) 
{
   echo $user->ID;
   echo $user->display_name;
   the_author_image($user->ID);
   echo $user->description;
}
