Answer 1

Microsoft has not yet released support for recording step definitions for mobile or universal Windows apps. The recorder is there mainly to observe UI elements and to auto-generate code and assertions on elements that have been identified with automation ID's or point references which most of us wish to avoid. This is something I am currently dealing with an I'll update this question if and when I find solutions unless someone else beats me to it, which would be welcomed.

Answer 2

I don't believe there is a CodedUI Test project for UWP. Since you're coding UI tests, you're test project should be targeting a specific device platform. There's CodedUI templates for Windows, and also Windows Phone. I would make two different CodeUI tests (one for Phone, one for Desktop), to make sure everything is working on either platform.

For testing common functionality, you can use unit tests.
