While this doesn't directly answer this second question, both styles are indeed used in the United States. Wikipedia has a page that can explain this MUCH better than we can, but the reason as to "why" we do it is because punctuation is VITAL to how wiki code operates. If you try to go to the article "New Challengers...." you will not be able to. "New Challengers..." is the name of the article, with THREE periods, attempting to get there with FOUR periods will just tell you "Article New Challengers.... was not found.". Since the most prevalent use of quotation marks inside paragraphs are surrounding episode names, an approach that makes those episode names as accurate as possible is the primary goal.
