Answer 1

The business degree is very helpful if you are planning to run your own firm. Political Science is a good "pre-law" major, but it won't do you any favors in terms of getting into law school. Law school admissions offices can be leery of Political Science, History, and English majors because so many go to law school because they don't know what else to do with their degrees. That does not mean that you should major in something else, just that you should be aware that you will need to make it clear that you are going to law school for the right reasons.

I was a Physiology/Neurobiology major at a state school for undergraduate and I got into and graduated from a Tier 1 law school.

As a general piece of advice, you will need to work on your spelling. The practice of law is very writing-intensive. Make sure you use spell-check and proofread so people can get the best impression of your abilities.

Answer 2

Well it depends on what field of law you are aiming for. If your aiming for corporate law, a business degree might be beneficial.
