Answer to Question 1

Because they occur deeper in Saturn's colder atmosphere, below a layer of methane haze.

Answer to Question 2

Images from spacecraft reveal that Io has over 100 volcanic vents on its surface. The active volcanoes throw sulfur-rich gas and ash high above the surface. That ash falls back to bury the surface at a rate of a few millimeters a year. This explains why you see no impact craters on Iothey are covered up as fast as they form.
