Your second point is caused by the first.
Use Norbyte's unpaking tool:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32263228/lstools.zip to unpak Main.pak somewhere (preferabbly somewhere that isn't your divinity:original sin directory, since it will read from those files instead of the .pak if they're there). From there look under Mods/Main/CharacterCreation and grab that folder.
