A: Yes. Look for user handles like "celluloid_ghost" or "the_moodbox" (names change frequently). The best versions usually have a scan log attached in the description.

By seeking out the version, you are engaging in an act of preservation against the director’s current wishes. You are siding with the archivists over the auteur.

A: Most of the "better" uploads do, but they are often "burnt-in" (hardcoded) yellow subtitles from the 90s, which adds to the nostalgic aesthetic. Avoid the SRT (soft-sub) versions if possible.

Archive.org is a static, unpolished, non-commercial space. There are no algorithm recommendations. There are no 15-second unskippable ads for laundry detergent. The player is clunky. The buffering is sometimes slow.
