[Avodah] Nusach Ari (Lubav) questions

Two questions recently occurred to me about the L nusach:

1. Throughout Yom Kippur, every time we mention "yom hakippurim hazeh",
the L nusach adds "yom selichas ho'ovon hazeh, yom mikra kodesh hazeh".
This includes the piece between Ki Anu Amecha and Al Chet.  But there
is one exception: in musaf, in the selichos after the avodah, there is
a mention of "yom hakipurim hazeh", and on this occasion it's followed
by "yom *mechilas ho'ovon hazeh, yom mikra kodesh hazeh".  Why is this
one instance different from all the others?

2. Throughout the year the L nusach follows the Sefardi minhag that every
time a yomtov is mentioned it's followed by "yom tov mikra kodesh hazeh".
On Chol Hamoed the addition is "yom mikra kodesh hazeh".  However, unlike
the Sefardi minhag, L makes this addition on chol hamoed only in musaf
(twice) but not in yaaleh veyavo, whether in davening or benching.  Does
anyone know why yaaleh veyavo is an exception?

zev at sero.name          The myrtle and the palm and the citron for a week
                And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm doing that
                I'll say "It's a Jewish thing; if you have a few minutes
                I'll explain it to you".
