Answer 1

You could use Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupProtectionPolicy|fl to get them.

For example:

##Replace Recovery service vault name
Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesVault -Name "shui" | Set-AzureRmRecoveryServicesVaultContext

##FriendlyName is your Azure VM name
$namedContainer=Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupContainer -ContainerType "AzureVM" -Status "Registered" -FriendlyName "shui"
$item = Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupItem -Container $namedContainer -WorkloadType "AzureVM"

$policyname=$item.ProtectionPolicyName
$policy=Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupProtectionPolicy -Name $policyname

##BACKUP FREQUENCY
$policy.SchedulePolicy
##RETENTION RANGE
$policy.RetentionPolicy
