In answer to question 1 - if you travel alone you will need a visa ; if you travel with your EU family member or going to join your EU family member then you won't need visa, if holding the 4EU family card.

Sorry, have no idea about question 2. Hopefully some of the members in Ireland will be able to help you out on that.

You can only apply for Irish citizenship after 3 years if your spouse is an Irish national and you've been in the country for a minimum of three years and married to your spouse for 3 years. Otherwise it is 5 years.
Cheers.

Sorry that is misleading information...only a few countries like Germany and Switzerland allow visa free travel to holders of Stamp4 E.UFam card travelling with their spouses.
