Answer 1

Merlin was the first, and he used it to transform young Author into another creature (bird, fish, etc.).

Answer 2

In ecclesiastical and formal government ceremonial, special officials may carry a wand of office or staff of office representing their power. Compare in this context the function of the ceremonial mace, the sceptre, and the staff of office. This is a practice of long standing; in Ancient Egypt, priests were depicted with rods. Its age may be even greater, as Stone Age cave paintings show figures holding sticks, which may be symbolic representations of their power. In Pharanoic Egypt, weapons against possible enemies, amulets against serpents, were also left in the tomb, together with magic texts and a magic wand which enabled the ka (soul) to use them. The rod of Moses was a hazel wand.
The first magical wand in European Fiction is that featured in the Odyssey: that of Circe, who used it to transform Odysseus's men into animals. Italian fairy tales put them into the hands of the powerful fairies by the late Middle Ages.
Merlin came much after that.

I'm pretty sure the idiots of yesterday ripped off the smudging/something else, I can't remember the name for it -.- concept of using a wand/athame for witchcraft.. Though I could be wrong, I haven't read up on that stuff in a while. Merlin was probably the first fictional user of the falsely represented item.
