Answer to Question 1

Pricing in the inelastic portion of the demand curve would result in negative marginal revenue which would reduce total revenue and profits as well.

Answer to Question 2

The market supply curve in a competitive market is a horizontal summation of individual supply curves. As a result, when some sellers exit the market, the market supply curve will shift to the left. With demand remaining unchanged, this will increase the equilibrium price and reduce the equilibrium quantity sold.
