Answer 1

The Windows Mobile shell caches the icon. On your first install on a clean device, your icon will be used. After that, the icon will remain in the cache until the device is reset, so if you want to change an icon with an already-installed app, you have to soft reset to force the shell to reload the cache.

Again, this is only a problem when changing the icon for an already-installed app. It's not going to affect your users when they are installing it on a clean device (and therefore probably is not an issue for you at all).
