Answer 1

The omelet appeared first. Sandwiches were not present until the 18th century. There is recorded evidence of omelets as early as the 1st century.

Answer 2

Well, it looks like the first mention of an omelette was during the ancient roman times.

ANCIENT ROMAN TAVERNS
"...Frescoes, ancient graffiti and other sources suggest that roasted meat was also served, such as ham and pig's head, with eel, olives, figs, possibly sausage, fishballs, meatballs, salads, poultry, marinated vegetables, cheese, eggs, omelettes and all manner of light snacks..."

The first mention of chicken being used in a sandwich was

"1900’s - The sandwich became very popular in the American diet when bakeries started selling pre-sliced bread, thus making sandwiches very easy to create. Sandwiches became an easy, portable meal for workers and schoolchildren alike.
Club Sandwich – It is a sandwich with cooked chicken breast and bacon, along with juicy ripe tomatoes and crisp lettuce layered between two or three slices of toasted bread with mayonnaise..."

But the first sandwich was "1st Century B.C. - The first recorded sandwich was by the famous rabbi, Hillel the Elder, who lived during the 1st century B.C. He started the Passover custom of sandwiching a mixture of chopped nuts, apples, spices, and wine between two matzohs to eat with bitter herbs..."

This should answer your question.
