Answer to Question 1

Surface bombardment was much heavier early in the solar system's history. A surface with few craters implies many, or all, of the early craters were covered up by lava flows or other activity. The fewer the craters and the smoother the surface, the younger we assume it to be. The smoothest surfaces are the youngest.
