Bookworm:
To answer your 2nd question, Tom created the diary after entering 
the chamber. (p312, US Hardcover) [Dumbledore] "'certainly kept an 
annoyingly close watch on me after Hagrid was expelled,' said Riddle 
carelessly. 'I knew it wouldn't be safe to open the Chamber *again* 
(my emphasis) while I was still at school. But I wasn't going to 
waste those longe years I'd spend searching for it. I decided to 
leave behind a diary...'"
