Answer 1

To choose date on datepicker create following keywords:

Select Datepicker Date
    [Documentation]     Select given day from datepicker
    [Arguments]     ${dateElem}     ${expectedMonthYear}    ${clickElement}
    Input Text  ${dateElem}    ${Empty}    # open the datepicker
    ${monthyear}=   Get Datepicker MonthYear
    :FOR    ${Index}    IN RANGE    1   31
    \   Run Keyword If  '${monthyear}' == '${expectedMonthYear}'   Exit For Loop
    \   Click Link    //*/div[@id='ui-datepicker-div']//*/a[contains(@class, 'ui-datepicker-prev')]
    \   ${monthyear}=   Get Datepicker MonthYear
    Click Link    ${clickElement}

Get Datepicker MonthYear
    [Documentation]     Return current month + year from datepicker
    [Return]    ${monthyear}
    ${month}=   Get Element Text  //*/div[@id='ui-datepicker-div']//*/div[@class='ui-datepicker-title']/span[@class='ui-datepicker-month']
    ${year}=    Get Element Text  //*/div[@id='ui-datepicker-div']//*/div[@class='ui-datepicker-title']/span[@class='ui-datepicker-year']
    ${monthyear}=   Catenate    ${month}  ${year}

And then use Select Datepicker Date keyword with required arguments in your Test Cases.
