Answer 1

I've used Netsparker in the past as a first run to probe for vulnerabilities on my sites. It will go through each page and alert you to a variety of vulnerabilities and has few false positives.

Answer 2

One tool that I use for casual inspection is fiddler. With fiddler, I can inspect my browser's traffic, "fiddle" with a request, and send it again to see what happens. It's no automated penetration testing machine by any means, but it's useful for specific tests outside of the confines of a JavaScript-enabled browser.

Selenium is a a Firefox plugin to record, edit and playback scripts to test web pages. If you create a test with junk input then you can use it to see how the form handles it.

What's nice is that you can save a test and run it later to quickly see the effects of a code change.
