Your Answer for Question 1:
Spacial locality example would be what kind of condiments I will put on a hot dog.  If ketchup is close to mustard, I am more likely to put it on.  However, if the condiment is far away from the mustard, I am less likely to use it.  An example of temporal locality is playing a game.  For example, if I play basketball I will probably want to play basketball in the near future because it is the first sport that will come to my mind.

Your Answer for Question 2:
If we just used the leftmost bits in the address to determine the cache location, a whole bunch of memory addresses would map to the same address.  If we have a bunch of things in memory that are close together (address-wise), this would mean that they would all map to the same cache address (not good).
