Answer to Question 1

Answer: Troughs in the jet stream cause divergence aloft and cause the rise of air over the polar front. This causes the polar front boundary to kink and a wave to form.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The central low pressure causes a gradient and the three forces of the winds cause the winds to spiral into the low at an angle across the isobars. Yet, the low moves along in a predictable direction because it is caused and steered by the winds of the polar front jet stream.
