Answer 1

From the documentation for CreateCompatibleDC:

When the memory DC is created, its display surface is exactly one monochrome pixel wide and one monochrome pixel high. Before an application can use a memory DC for drawing operations, it must select a bitmap of the correct width and height into the DC.

Since you're using CreateDIBSection with that DC, the resulting DIB section will be 1-bit monochrome as well.
