Hello again monkey, regarding your sutta query #1, it might be worthwhile looking at Mudita - Sympathetic joy - rejoicing in the success of others - which is one of the Four Sublime States (Brahma Viharas).

These are 1. Loving-kindness (metta), 2. Compassion (karuna), 3. Sympathetic Joy (mudita), 4. Equanimity (upekkha).

Here's Mettam Sutta SN 46.54

Oh - I didn't see Dave's post mentioning the Brahma Viharas when I was writing this - but I'll leave mine anyway.
