Answer 1

Using WithServer starts up an application that you can make requests to. For the tests you describe here, you need to use WithApplication.
To manually set a context, you can override the startPlay method.
#Override
public void startPlay()
{
super.startPlay();
Http.Context.current.set(new Http.Context(1L,
Mockito.mock(RequestHeader.class),
Mockito.mock(Http.Request.class),
Collections.<String, String>emptyMap(),
Collections.<String, String>emptyMap(),
Collections.<String, Object>emptyMap()));
}
