Your Answer for Question 1:
The TLB stores mostly the translations from virtual to physical addresses. However, the TLB stores only recently used translations, so it is high in temporal locality. This lends itself to lower miss rates, since translations referenced in the TLB are likely to referenced again in the near future. So even with the smaller size, the temporal locality is what keeps its miss rate low.

Your Answer for Question 2:
No, because this would upset the area reserved for the tag bits. The hardware is designed to work withthe bits farther on the left, but if we changed it to put them on the right, we could possibly intrude into the selection process since we are reshuffling bits around.
