1) This probably isn't the easiest way, but the safest way is to mix up some stronger car shampoo solution and use that with a soft brush. Usually "safe" and "easy" don't mix well, although what "safe" constitutes is a personal opinion. Many people have used degreasers and all purpose cleaners on their engine bays.

2) It depends on how deep or bad the scratches are, but try a swirl remover first. Have a scratch remover and some fine cut compound (or equivalent) as backup handy too. It's a judgement call, but if you're not completely sure how bad the damage is, you're best off doing it gently first by default.
