Answer 1

change switchName="mySwitch" to switchValue="Verbose". This then outputs ALL traces via tracesource. You can change the switchLevel to increase / reduce the verbosity of the tracing. In your sample you have traced an information message, there is, verbose, information, warnings, error, critical. Set switch to warning and you won't get any verbose or information messages.
