Answer 1

It sounds like you have somehow managed to lose the EF reference, perhaps by accidentally adding the .net 4.5 version of the assembly.

The easiest way to resolve this is to go into nuget and uninstall EF 5 and then reinstall it. This will get nuget to readd it to your solution and set up the project reference correctly.
