Hi, To answer your second question first, check all your settings in view menu and preferences, and remember to set any folder that isn't behaving as you like to the view you like.
To answer your first question, as I already said, when you open a folder, you just see the contents of that folder, when you expand it, you see its contents as well as everything you could already see, so it's personal preference.
