Answer to Question 1

Since the bidder pays his bid if he wins, each bidder will continue to raise the bid by the minimum amount allowed until the bidding reaches the value that he places on the item that is being auctioned. This means that, in an English auction, it is a dominant strategy to bid until the price is above the bidder's value for the item.
