Answer to Question 1

If an entity contains composite attributes, each component of the composite attribute is mapped as a column of a relation, while the composite attribute itself does not appear in the mapped relation.

Answer to Question 2

Primary key is a column (or a set of columns) whose value is unique for each row. Primary keys cannot have null values. If there are multiple columns (or sets of columns) that have unique values in each row, one of them is designated as a primary key. Each relation must have a primary key.
