I have to say that for your second question I thinkt that Ozpin probably picked Jaune and Ruby to be leaders of their respective teams because he knows that they have no previous experiances in team leading. I also bet that he did it based on their special cercumstances.

Ruby so far seems to be the youngest huntress-in-training admitted to Beacon since he let her in due to her experiance with wielding a scyth like weapon and her intent to follow in her mothers footsteps.

Jaune on the other hand might be something completly different. Ozpin might have knowledge of his fake transcripts but, again like Ruby, sees someone who wants to prove his worth as a Huntsman due to his families warrior like past.
