Answer to Question 1

The seizure or stop requires reasonable suspicion (provided it is considered a Terry stop and not an arrest), but the simple questioning requires no justification.

Answer to Question 2

A stop is the detention of a person by a law enforcement officer for the purpose of investigation.
