Re 1:

What can't you just create multiple search lines, use "Match any of the following", and include each address as a separate search term? I do that.

Re 2:

This is an unrelated request, and should be in a different bug. But the bottom line is that this functionality is now in the extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/9716 and is unlikely to be added back to the core code.
