Answer to Question 1

In the Ultimatum Game, half of the players (Proposers) are given some amount of money and are paired with other players (Responders) who start with nothing. The game is a sequential game that consists of two decisions. Proposers choose how much of the money they want to offer Responders. Each Responder then decides either to accept the Proposer's offer or to reject the offer, in which case both players walk away from the experiment empty handed.
Experimental evidence suggests that very low offers are often rejected. Proposers often understand that their low offers will likely be rejected, so they rarely offer extremely low amounts. Their offer is determined in part by how much they fear a rejection (and winding up with nothing). These experimental results are inconsistent with the theoretical predictions from game theory.
