Answering question 1.
I have to say that President Johnson's Vietnam Policy failed because to the nations of the world, it didn't seem like America was putting all its attention to end the conflict. Instead of going into Vietnam with all of our U.S. troops using America's full firepower, the "war" might have ended quicker because the North Vietnamese couldn't respond to such a large force and also wouldn't have been able to receive aid from other countries fast enough to counter such a large force. A large successful front would have kept American morale high while also toppling the North Vietnamese morale.
By slowly increasing U.S. troops it gave the message that America was weak and not full heartedly entering into Vietnam to protect the South Vietnamese government. Other countries saw exactly this, and so pressured America to leave Vietnam before it gets worse since America can't seem to end it quickly.
