Answer 1

Creating that kind of background for x axis labels is not supported in Highcharts.
As a workaround you can create a phantom series that mimics their look:
{
showInLegend: false,
type: 'polygon',
name: 'Labels background',
data: [
[1, 5],
[2, 5],
[2, 6],
[1, 6]
],
zIndex: -9999
}
labels.distance should be a negative value to make it work.
