For problem #1 I don't think so. The "last folder" will come up whether you save as gcode or 3mf. There is no option for "last gcode folder" as opposed to "last 3mf folder".
For problem #2 there are bug reports on Github about that behavior. For those of us who open a lot of files consecutively it's truly annoying and it is easy to overwrite a gcode file if you aren't paying close attention and catching when Cura decides to change the project name. The bug is easily duplicated but doesn't appear to be so easy to fix.
"...but if you save the project before saving the gcode, then the project name stays (until you load a new stl and save the gcode first). Hopefully this helps."
So changing the order in which you save the project and gcode appears to have an effect.

Additionally, scarf seams have been introduced alongside even more print settings and improvements. Check out the rest of this article to find out the details on all of that and more

You can look at Github #11756, #11803, #13095, #13372, and for developers it's on the backlog as CURA-8897.
