Answer 1

There is an example of how to set the legend inside the polt are included in the JFreeChart Samples XYTitleAnnotationDemo1, this is the key part:

XYPlot plot = (XYPlot) chart.getPlot();
LegendTitle lt = new LegendTitle(plot);
lt.setItemFont(new Font("Dialog", Font.PLAIN, 9));
lt.setBackgroundPaint(new Color(200, 200, 255, 100));
lt.setFrame(new BlockBorder(Color.white));
lt.setPosition(RectangleEdge.BOTTOM);
XYTitleAnnotation ta = new XYTitleAnnotation(0.98, 0.02, lt,RectangleAnchor.BOTTOM_RIGHT);

ta.setMaxWidth(0.48);
plot.addAnnotation(ta);
