Answer 1

You can set individual positions for data labels which belong to points with the same x value. For example:

  series: [{
    data: [{
      x: Date.UTC(1969, 6, 20),
      name: 'First space station',
      label: 'A',
      description: 'A1'
    }, {
      x: Date.UTC(1969, 6, 20),
      name: 'First space station',
      label: 'A',
      dataLabels: {
        y: 40
      },
      description: 'A2'
    }, ...]
  }]
