To your first question.

As i understand a divine being as Buddha was after he become enlightened he only needed to say the words for his disciples/ followers to understand and to become more enlightened them too. so yes he could have asked Ananda to have written it down, but did Ananda know how to write? I dont know the answer to that question, but i guess he could not write.
First, I would agree that Ananda and most of the Buddhas disciples could not write. That is why it was written down later.

I have to point out that Gautama Buddha was not a divine being neither before or after his enlightenment. He was a human being. We are fortunate to have human form because it is the best opportunity for us to realize our inherent Buddhanature.
