Answer to second qeustion You should make your table in the first cell to be top aligned.

If you write

\begin{tabular}{|l|}  
    \hline text \\ text \\ text\\ text \\ \hline 
\end{tabular}

then you get a center aligned table.

Write

\begin{tabular}{p{1cm}|p{3cm}}  
    \vtop{\vskip 0pt \vskip -\ht\strutbox 
    \begin{tabular}{|l|}  
        \hline text \\ text \\ text\\ text \\ \hline 
    \end{tabular}\vskip -\dp\strutbox }%
    & Top align content ? \\  
\end{tabular}
