Answer to Question 1

With Y below the natural level, the expected price level (or expected inflation) will fall causing W to fall. As W falls, P will fall. As P falls, a real depreciation occurs and NX increases. We would move along the AD curve.

Answer to Question 2

Changes in the saving rate can only cause temporary changes in the growth rate. Once the new steady state is reached (caused by the drop in s), the growth rates would return to zero.
