I'll address the first question and I'm sure I am wrong (usually am) but if I'm playing in a big event then I will wait for a better spot, if it's my average buy-in within my bankroll then I will push pre-flop with AK if there has been any raise in front of me, in a regular tourney the value of a big stack early is huge IMO.
If there has been no action in front of me then I will raise much more than the standard 3x and be willing to push if I get re-raised.
