Question 2
Victor created the monster, and his actions (or inactions) led to the monster's rampage. The monster killed William, framed Justine (leading to her execution), and killed Henry. Victor's irresponsible creation and failure to control or guide the monster make him morally responsible for these deaths.
Elizabeth's letter to Victor typically includes updates on the family (like the situation after William's death, Justine's trial), expressions of concern for Victor's well - being (as he's been away), and her feelings about their relationship, maybe also inquiring about his studies and health.
Victor knows the monster has threatened to be with him on his wedding night. He is conflicted between his love for Elizabeth (wanting to marry her) and his fear that the monster will harm Elizabeth (or himself) on the wedding night. He is torn between his desire for a life with Elizabeth and the dread of endangering her.

Yes, I agree. Victor created the monster, and his neglect of the monster (failing to provide care, guidance, or a solution to its plight) led the monster to seek revenge and cause these deaths. His scientific hubris and subsequent irresponsibility for his creation make him morally accountable for the lives lost.
