1) That's the big puzzle, of course. We don't have good information on that. What we have are some odd out-of-place technologies -- maps that couldn't have been made without technology our civilization didn't have until the 19th century, artifacts of aluminum (which can't be made without electricity), plausible accounts of aircraft, and the like -- which make sense as relict technologies from the last of the glacial civilizations, traditionally called "Atlantis." None of them are eons ahead of, say, Rome; they're more advanced, surely, but I know of no evidence for unknown energy sources or technologies beyond our current understanding. Nor is there evidence for widespread fossil fuel use -- if that had happened, there wouldn't be any left for us.
My hypothesis is that Atlantean technology peaked somewhere around where ours reached around 1900, and was much less widely distributed -- occult traditions have it that the high technology they had was monopolized by temple priesthoods, and the vast majority of people had no access to it. That would make sense of the sparse nature of the relict technologies, and also of the lack of large-scale earth traces (our giant dams, for example, have no equivalent in the late ice age -- but we couldn't have built them without diesel fuel). It probably included things we don't know about and missed some things we got, but that's the nature of the beast.
2), No, though if those hominids were more widespread in ancient times it might make sense of some branches of folklore. If legends are anything to go by, the people of Lemuria were early Homo sapiens, and very dark-skinned -- their descendants are to be found in Australia, some of the tribal peoples of India, and Africa.
