1. No 2. The MEPC includes some addtional inputs but also removes some. The major change is that the modeling results go in the MEPC instead of the form. So if you have the v5 EAp2 form you should use the 1.4 Tables, if you have the v6 or later form then use the MEPC. If you don't want to use the MEPC and have the newer form you can request that GBCI replace the form with the older version. Whatever you do don't use the newer form with the 1.4 tables because you will not be providing a comparative summary of the modeling results and you will then have a cranky reviewer.
