/usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian.gz:

       Apache2 Configuration under Debian GNU/Linux
       ============================================

       (...)
       
       Please be aware that this layout is quite different from the standard
       Apache configuration. Due to the use of environment variables, apache2
       needs to be started/stopped with '/etc/init.d/apache2', apachectl, or
       apache2ctl. Calling '/usr/bin/apache2' directly will not work with the
       default configuration. To call apache2 with specific command line
       arguments, just call apache2ctl with the same arguments.

I guess both of your problems vanish after you use apache2ctl instead.
