For your second question, go stand on the weapon. Press select and then look if it says that's two-handed or single-handed. If it's two-handed you should set on you support ability on the Ability that sets that you can carry a two-handed sword. For a Soldier that ability is called: Monkey Grip and can be learned from Vigilante and the other one is learned as a Fighter ability: from Venus Blade and it's called Doublehand
well actually doublehand means that the character will use single handed weapons doublehanded which will do extra damage.
also it might be because the soldier cant use the weapon.
