You need the Windows Phone Recovery Tool to go back to WP8.1. If you search these forums there's plenty of info on it. Not sure about the answer to your 2nd question, you may have to wait until Microsoft announce more info closer to the release date.

Your second question is really hard to decipher. Basically there is no word on how you will be updated to Windows 10 official version from the preview, but it is possible, just like 8.1DP to proper 8.1.
