Answer to Question 1

Inflation bias is caused when a government is expected to use policy tools to create an economic expansion (such as before an election). Because it is expected, wages and therefore prices are increased. If the government did not pursue the expansionary policy then, there would be a recession Inflation is increased without the advantage of an increase in output.
Making the central bank independent of the political government is one answer to avoid inflation bias.
