Answer 1

From the documentation,

Unlike popup lists, the title of a popup button displaying a pulldown list is not based on the currently selected item and thus remains fixed unless you change using the cell’s setTitle: method.

If you want the selected item to be shown as title, the easiest way is to use a popup instead of pulldown. Or call setTitle: every time you change the selection.
