Answer 1

type="date" generates the browsers HTML-5 datepicker if supported. The specifications require that the value be formatted in ISO format (yyyy-MM-dd) which is then displayed in accordance with the browsers culture.

Add the asp-format to format the value, and remove the value attribute (Tag Helpers correctly generate the value attribute for correct 2-way model binding and you should never attempt to add it yourself)

Note the HTML-5 datepicker is not supported in IE, and only in recent versions of FireFox. If you want a consistent UI, then consider using a jQuery datepicker instead.
