Answer 1

There are lots of great mythology/constellation books.

Picking out constellations without a human guide just from maps can be tricky, but it is doable. You are best off with a planisphere for your latitude.

Constellation maps: http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~dolan/constellations/

Planispheres: http://www.skymaps.com/store/cat04.html

Here are stories of the traidtional greek constellations: http://www.ufrsd.net/staffwww/stefanl/myths/stories.htm

There are many other mythologies from other cultures however.
There are a few native american stories in here: http://www.northern-stars.com/Native_American_Sky_Legends.pdf#search=%22native%20american%20constellation%20stories%20%22, however searching for a book in a library or on amazon will give you a much better sampling. No doubt you can find Chinese stories too if you look around.

Many stars have multiple names, but a good planisphere or book about constellations will name some of the stars with their unique (non catalogue) names.

Answer 2

I love astronomy and hopefully these sources will lead you in the right direction.
