Hi M, welcome to KM
The first question is easy, middle-clicking to open links in background:

The second, opening all bookmarks in a folder, works differently then you seem used to:
First edit bookmarks and give that folder a nickname of your choice.
Then later, when you type that nick into the URL bar, just hit enter.
