for first question you can write a _sql_constraints like this :

_sql_constraints = [('name_uniq','unique(name)', 'Field name must be unique!')]

For the second question you can write in your field with a related sequence (ir.sequence object) this is used in many documents: orders, invoices, account entries, etc.

You can check the code and try it.
