Your Answer for Question 1:
Spatial locality: When I put my socks away, I fold the matching pairs together, since there is a very high likelyhood that once I access one of them, I'm going to access the other.

Temporal locality: Since I don't put away my clothes too often, when I got to get laundry, I don't have to search through drawers and my closet since the close I want to wear are on my floor since I have worn them recently.

Your Answer for Question 2:
Using the low bits except the byte addressing bits increases the hit rate due to spatial locality. The low two bits are not used since MIPS cache word size is 4 bytes

Due to the spatial locality of data and instructions, using high-order bits would cause a very high number of cache misses, since only one word per a large section of memory (addresses that start with those bits) can be cached.
