1. I would expect n-pentanol to have a higher boiling point because it has a much higher molar mass as well as some hydrogen bonding (although not nearly as much as with CH3OH).
2. Here is a site where you can read about the oxidiation of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols.

I think you can find the others in your text or your notes.
