Answer 1

changeYear property lets you enable a year dropdown. Also might be helpful to use yearRange property to control number of years they see in the dropdown, by default it's from -10 to +10 years.

$('#date').datepicker({
    changeMonth: true,
    changeYear: true,
    yearRange: "-40:+40"
});

Details from original documentation:

The range of years displayed in the year drop-down: either relative to today's year ("-nn:+nn"), relative to the currently selected year ("c-nn:c+nn"), absolute ("nnnn:nnnn"), or combinations of these formats ("nnnn:-nn"). Note that this option only affects what appears in the drop-down, to restrict which dates may be selected use the minDate and/or maxDate options.
