Answer 1

Float width and position CSS styles applied to div's do not work in Outlook.

This is the primary reason while Tables are still used so heavily in Emails.

Answer 2

I would suggest you to make basic html structure using a table tag.

You can then use "div" tags insde "td" tags.

Email templates are a pain because most of the cool stuf doesn't work :D
