  1. Yes, it will. Download only from the CRA, and then manually add the missing RQ data.  Most Revenue Quebec fields will populate correctly with the CRA download except for withheld Quebec income  tax and taxable benefits added to earned income. If you log in to your Revenue Quebec workspace, you can see exactly what information is available and make note of it. Then it is just a matter of manually adding to the correct fields in the CRA slips.

  2. No. When you own multiple personal use properties over the same time period, you are free to designate one of them per year as a principle residence, even if you just occasionally stayed there. So the idea is to determine which property will accrue the most in value over time and designate a maximum number of years to that  property to shield its future capital gains. In your case, you could reserve some years on your main residence (and pay some capital gains) and designate them to your cottage.  The fiscal formula used in the T2091 form is: (number of years designated +1)/(number of years owned) x price sold = capital gains exempt from taxation.  So if you designate all years owned to your main residence, the year you move to your cottage will result in 1 year of cottage designation. If there was a change of use of your cottage 5 years ago, then a deemed disposition should have been filed at that time. If you owned the cottage for 5 years and you were to sell and move away the year following your initial move then (2+1)/5 would be the capital exempt from tax.
