Cheng Yaojin. Not the artist's name but the name of the character represented by the mask, a Tang dynasty general. See: http://www.chinaculture.org/focus/focus/cities/2011-11/01/content_425463.htm

no idea, sorry. a few decades old maybe? the handwriting isn't very good; this isn't meant to be fine art.
