Answer 1

Check out the test heuristics cheat sheet:

This will give you some ideas of what types of things to look for when testing a given type of system. For example, when testing something with an input, do boundary testing (test the limits: what happens when you input nothing? what happens when you input too much data? etc.)

Answer 2

Best approach would be the understand the requirement or the situation and test accordingly.
