@ emon 
i am answering the 2nd part of your question . 
c6h5oh is more acidic due to resonance stabilised phenoxide ion . 
on the other hand in the case of ch3oh neither ethanol nor ethoxide is stabilised by resonance . hence they will behave as weaker acids than c6h5oh .. 
for diagram of the reaction refer to alcohol and phenol chap of ncert , if not getting then let me know . 
ALL THE BEST ..
