Answer 1

That's the proper way, as the documentation states:

Normally, you must write your applications so that they are always prepared to re-issue a transaction if it gets rolled back because of a deadlock.

If you want to reduce the occurrence of deadlocks, you must show us the tables DDL and indexes.
