I think I know what you're talking about, I too have seen this issue multiple times, there are little gaps between the lines that the printer head deposits. I'm not entirely sure myself which printer setting remedies this. I haven't spent much time trying to fix the problem but I think a higher printing temperature more specifically on the final layers might help. as for the stringing if you increase your retraction speed and distance you should have significantly less stringing.

1) Your picture doesn't seem to work. To post a picture please post here. Click "gallery" on the top left of this page, then click blue "upload" button. Then edit your post and click on "my media" next to smile icon to insert your picture.
2) I think you are talking about "pillowing". This is much worse if the fans aren't working - please double check that your side 2 fans work. Also increasing "top/bottom layer thickness" will help. Here is a photo and explanation(post#10):

3) I'm not sure about the stringing unless you include a photo. Make sure "retraction" is checked and look at the part in layer view and make sure it shows a vertical blue line to indicate retraction before any move causing "strings".
