2)The right pronunciation of WYHY is "vayehy" or "vayhy"? I know a shewa is pronounced after a closed syllable and it's not pronounced after an open syllable, so this pronunciation should be "vayhy".
The metheg under the waw indicates that "wa" is an open syllable. The shewa under the yodh is therefore a mobile shewa (shewa na`) and the yodh is the first consonant in the syllable "yehi".
