The best answer to #2 is that he never knew Padme had twins, and was in fact led to believe that her child had died with her in childbirth. Why he couldn't "sense" Leia on Alderaan isn't clear - that ability seems to come along as needed by the plot. A better question may be: why didn't he know Luke was around? After all, he had the same last name and was hidden on Anakin's own home planet, in the very house his mother lived in during her final years. For #1, perhaps she was remembering her adopted mother, mistaking her for her real mother.

For #1, perhaps she was remembering her adopted mother, mistaking her for her real mother. The answer to both of these probably lies in the fact that George Lucas _didn't_ have the whole story in his head while he was writing/filming the earliest parts. That explains a lot of the inconsistencies in the story, as well as in the books (for instance, in the original Star Wars novel, Leia is older than Luke by a few years). It's also a great credit to his imagination, since he had to make the prequel explain a large number of difficult-to-reconcile facts. For #2, sometimes force sensatives are able to mask there force abilities without knowing they are doing so. I'm sure there a perfectly good explanation, it's just that George hasn't thought of it yet.
