As Zoltan says for 1.) - it's easier if you know the activity ID or the whole name of the activity (assuming no duplicates)
2.) If I understand correctly, you're using the stock Primavera search bar in the predecessor/successor pop up - you can again use the activity ID or the activity title (spelt correctly, don't think uppercase/lowercase matter).
Use Ctrl+F instead and type in whatever it is you want to search for. It won't reduce the activity list, merely jump to the activity you want to look for (or alternatively some you don't - but you can always "find next"). Some customisations of the layout such as activity id, activity name, start/finish can be added and the ctrl+f will search all those fields (from memory) inc WBS.
You can still use Ctrl+F to search in most pop up boxes, it's just not listed as a function button you can click.
1. if you know the activity
