Answer 1

In SharePoint 2013, you have the flexibility to use HTML file to edit the master page and it will be converted to .master file automatically.

That means you can edit the .html version of master page in any Editor (Text editor or Html editor like Notepad++, Dreamweaver, Visual Studio etc.). During editing you can place different SharePoint controls on different location and upload this .html file in SharePoint master page library with correct content type. From design manager you can convert your .html version of master page to .master file and check preview. On preview you have the option to move to Snippet Gallery, this gallery allows you to generate SharePoint controls to place in .html version.
