Answering Question 2:
Before being turned into a bug, Gregor didn't have a very exciting life. Every day he did the same thing: got up, went to work promptly, worked hard, and came home only to do nothing, or more of something pertaining to his work. As humans, most of us do have some sort of routine when it comes to going to work or school, but then when we come home we usually do a variety of things. Even if they aren't at are own will and we have more tasks we mus complete, we still don't do nothing or the same thing every single day. This would cause most humans to go crazy due to the lack of excitement and variety in their life.
Gregor was being used to pay off his parent's/family's debt to his boss. Although he didn't complain, how could this not make Gregor feel dehumanized? He was being forced to work for his family's benefit not his own. His family acted like Gregor's only use to them was like that of how some would use an animal. They keep him around not because he is meaningful to them, but because it is beneficial for them because he can provide them with service.
