Answer to Question 1

If all the polymers were the same length, the number and weight average molecular weights would be the same. Therefore, when the number and weight averages are vastly different, it implies that the molecular weights are also vastly different and that the MWD is wide.

Answer to Question 2

Melt index is a measure of a polymer's ability to flow through an orifice within a given time. Time through the orifice gives insight as to the chain length and structure. Viscosity also measures chain length and structure as an interaction between the measuring device and the viscous fluid.
