Re 1: 
I group my bookmarks in folders and subfolders mainly in the personal toolbar
and I do want to have duplicates in different folders or different groupmarks.

Re 2:
Why do you want to save a duplicate bookmark by another name?
I´m using duplicates (either made directly or by cut&paste) to have a template
for editing to make bookmarks for URLs which from the website only can be
reached via some javascript links.

You always can delete or rename bookmarks from bookmarks manager.
