Answer 1

Microsoft keep on improving VS and Xamarin. Yesterday I updated VS 2017 to version 15.8.4 and now I see a difference also between your screen Jordy Dieltjens and mine as below, you have "UI Technology" to the left bottom corner and instead I have "Platform". Also you have "Portable Class Library (PCL)" under "Code sharing strategy" to the right bottom corner where I have ".Net Standard" instead. as per my knowledge PCL is now deprecated and replaced with .Net Standard which is supposed to do the same.
