Re: the second part of the question....
Analog altimeters don't have any special indication for below sea level. The needle just keeps on going below zero feet and begins reading in reverse.
On glass cockpit aircraft, there's usually an indication that you're on the backside of the altitude scale. On my plane, a yellow "NEG" tag will appear at the bottom of the altitude tape.
