Answer 1

You can use setOnActionExpandListener of MenuItem

mSearchItem.setOnActionExpandListener(new MenuItem.OnActionExpandListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem menuItem) {
                return true;
            }

            @Override
            public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem menuItem) {
                //TODO Here you can do your list hiding stuff :D
                return true;
            }
        });
