Answer to Question 1

The gas is about 100K, cold enough that atoms collide gently and stick together to form molecules.

Answer to Question 2

Both are orbiters of jovian planets, but the probe for Galileo fell into Jupiter's atmosphere, while the Huygens probe from Cassini was sent to Saturn's large moon Titan. Both used a gravitational slingshot via Earth and Venus to reach their destinations, resulting in reduced fuel consumption and possibly a longer than expected useful life. Cassini was able to collect data on Jupiter as it flew past.
