Answer 1

The default behavior displays the I Beam when you mouse over a textbox, I'm unsure what is going on with your textbox, you may be overriding this behavior in a style.

You could implement this trigger to get around it:

<TextBox>
   <TextBox.Style>
      <Style TargetType="TextBox" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type TextBox}}">
         <Style.Triggers>
            <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
               <Setter Property="Cursor" Value="IBeam"/>
            </Trigger>
         </Style.Triggers>
       </Style>
     </TextBox.Style>
   </TextBox>
