Answer 1

The 442nd was activated in World War II. Your second question is not well constructed since the unit was initially activated in early 1942 (shortly after Pearl Harbor). The unit served with great distinction in the Italian campaign (obviously used in Europe to prevent friendly fire incidents in the Pacific which surely would have occurred). Your other homework assignments would best be done by you. It's not that hard.
