Answer 1

Can't be done without custom elements. I'd suggest watching http://www.zendcasts.com/writing-composite-zend_form-elements/2010/03/

Answer 2

just create a custom decorator, extends from Zend_Form_Decorator_Abstract and define the function render, which returns the html that you define inside, for example you can do:

$html = ''; // some code html
$i = 0;
foreach ($element->getMultiOptions() as $value => $label){
    $html .= '<label><input type="checkbox" name="'.$element->getName().'[]" id="'$element->getName()'-'.$i.'" value="'.$value.'" />'.$label.'</label>';
    $i++;
}
return $html;
