Answer 1

You can scroll to the necessary location using javascript You need to use the scrollTo method rather than the scrollBy method for it to work.

public void scrollToElement(By by) {
    Locatable element = (Locatable) selenium.findElement(by);
    Point p= element.getCoordinates().getLocationOnScreen();
    JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) selenium;  
    js.executeScript("window.scrollTo(" + p.getX() + "," + (p.getY()+150) + ");");
}

Answer 2

Simple use the .sendKeys(Keys.PAGE_DOWN); when your element was visible, just click on it, by .click(element).perform(); for me work something like this:

clicker = new Actions(driver);
    clicker.sendKeys(Keys.PAGE_DOWN);
    Thread.sleep(1000);
    clicker.click(button).perform();     
    Thread.sleep(1000);
