Answer 1

Hint is to use the position: relative with z-index. Basically z-index will put the elemets on top of each other when you will render it.

Answer 3

In your example, it feels like a container DIV with a background image, with a nested image inside said DIV.
to get a similar result for example :
HTML:
<div id="bg">
<div id="transparentContent">
<img src="imagePath" />
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#bg {
background-image: url("imagePath");
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
#transparentContent {
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
color: white;
}
The transparent content DIV is used to create the blackened background over the image.
There are of course, other ways to achieve similar results.
