Answer 1

The <i> pair are HTML markup for italics. For WikiTree markups use two single quotes.

The referenced family tree has 3 sources, two of which could go directly on the profile. The third source is http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Abbott-4451

Yes, you can replace <i>FamilySearch</i> with ''FamilySearch''.

Answer 2

I think that is the html tag for Italics.  At least that is what is appears to be to me.  Two single quote marks will give you Italics in Wikitree markup.
