I don't know about Outlook, but here is how I have "fixed" the first issue.

In the incoming context, modify the exten to include something like:

exten => s,1,SetCallerID("${CALLERIDNAME}" <0${CALLERIDNUM}>)

Here in Australia it's standard to dial '0' for an outside line, so replace
the 0 with 9.
