Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

When aligned in our line of sight, there is no radial velocity, and all lines appear single. A quarter of a period later, one is approaching us with its line blue shifted, and the other is receding. Multiply this time span by four, and the two stars are back in the original positions.
