On #2;  I've also had the squeek come from the balance rail hole on the bottom of the key.  Remove the key and clean out any gunk, polish the balance rail pin with Flitz and see if that helps, too.

Replace if missing, or clean the glue off the contact surface. #2: Probably the balance rail bushing (if it's the front rail these suggestions apply equally). Microfine teflon powder &/or Protec will quiet it right down. It's possible the problem was caused by glue soaking into the felt when the key was bushed (plus a certain amount of wear).
