Answer 1

You have a GridLayout with four large cells, and you're adding checkboxes and emails to different cells separately. They don't know of each other and are aligned based only on their size, which is different.

To align each checkbox to each email, add them to the layout with regard to their relationship. The simplest way is to make a GridLayout not 2x2 but (N+1)x2, and then add each checkbox and each email to a separate cell. You can also use GridBagLayout, it doesn't require to know the number of cells in advance.
