I can answer the first part of your question.

Blanket weed or silkweed, are very common pond algae and have dense growths of hair-like green strands that float under or on the surface, or cling to plants at the side of the pond.

I have heard that liquid barley straw extract bought from a garden centre or aquatic nursery, will get rid of it.
