Answer 1

I've had great luck with jsoup . It uses a jQuery style dom node selector and can work with HTML fragments, even very poorly formatted ones.

Answer 2

I don't know about jsoup, but TagSoup is a fantastic HTML-parsing library. I've had it in a production system for a couple of years now which has been run against tens of thousands (at least) of web pages in the wild, and we've never had a single failure from TagSoup. It handles even the most horribly formatted HTML imaginable.
