Answer to Question 1

In output markets, firms supply goods and services. In factor markets, firms demand factors of production.

Answer to Question 2

Although under the gold standard all U.S. paper money had to be backed by gold, today the gold at Fort Knox has no connection to the U.S. money supply since modern currencies like the U.S. dollar are fiat money.
