I've resolved [1] described below.

Still struggling with [2] -- I'm using beta66.

I managed to do this by specifying the parameters in the LinkFmt, rather 
than the PageName, and using MakePageName:
  $text .= MakeLink(
  	'MyCategory/Main',
  	'PageName',
  	'text',
  	'',
  	"<a class='wikilink' href='\$LinkUrl" 
.'&album='.MakePageName('MyCategory','encoded text')."'>\$LinkText</a>"
  );
