I don't have an answer for the first, but as to your inquiry to what the ground is on the right side of the picture, I'm pretty sure I know what that is. It's been a while since I had my dash out, but I'm pretty sure that's your heater fan motor ground. I'd say 90%+ positive. Someone will surely correct me if I am wrong.
