As for the footnotes, you first have to use a biblatex style that automatically makes use of "\footcite". For this, you need to add the "citestyle" option citestyle=verbose-trad1 . What I usually do is that I renew a command like "\citep" into "\autocite" adding the following command to the preamble:
\renewcommand\citep{\autocite} As for the lack of references in the footnotes, it might be due to the lack of the bibliography's full path in the preamble. Try this and let me know.
