Hi,
you are right: pencil/paper are not allowed during the exam. Instead, a built-in whiteboard and calculator are provided by the system. My recommendation is to get familiar with the whiteboard at the following link:

Also, review all the requirements and restrictions for the online exam and set up your workplace accordingly; details are available at the following links:

[last updated: Dec 7th - so this may be not fully aligned with the new exam]
Could you please clarify what you mean in question #2? I'm not sure I understand it correctly - as you are not allowed to have anything within arm's reach, including books or any kind of notes.
Hope this helps,
Gabriella
