2. Clutch.. it's really stiff and takes very high.. if I'm at the stop light and I put in 1st gear, and keep the clutch pressed... my foot get's tired in 60 sec... is it normal?

Why do you leave it in gear at the lights?? Why not just select neutral and release the clutch pedal.
If the clutch is as worn as you think & you want to maximise its remaining lifespan, give it a break - don't leave the car in gear while stopped, don't ride the clutch while stationary on an incline and don't slip it too much when taking off from a stop!
You may just prolong its life an extra few thousand miles.....
