   I figured out the solution for issue 1:

   Change this file : ../wp-includes/comment-template.php as below:
   

   function get_comment_author_link() {
   	$url    = get_comment_author_url();
   	$author = get_comment_author();
   
   	if ( empty( $url ) || 'http://' == $url )
   		$return = $author;
   	else
   		$return = "<a href='$url' rel='external nofollow'>$author</a>";
   	return apply_filters('get_comment_author_link', $return);
   }

   ------------------------------------------------------------------
   Change the code which looks similar to above with a small change as below. This basically introuduces target='_blank' and nothing more!
   -------------------------------- ----------------------------------
   

   function get_comment_author_link() {
   	$url    = get_comment_author_url();
   	$author = get_comment_author();
   
   	if ( empty( $url ) || 'http://' == $url )
   		$return = $author;
   	else
   		$return = "<a href='$url' rel='external nofollow' target='_blank'>$author</a>";
   	return apply_filters('get_comment_author_link', $return);
   }
