Question 1:

From the documentation I can see this option:

closeOnSelect: false

This option is set to true by default, meaning the select box closes on select.

So, this is a simple call of the plugin:

$('#mySelect').select2({
    closeOnSelect: false
});

Question 2:

This question is a bit vague. It's a fairly simple task, but without going through the plugin's files and understanding its logic, it's difficult to know how to answer — and I'm not spending hours trying. This is something you'll have to try yourself, as I personally don't think you'll find anyone here willing to do that for free. It's asking a little bit much.

Take a look at its files and see if you can work out what is going on and try something. People will always be willing to help if you've tried. Good luck.

What a BUG, i can't believe, when you set the closeOnSelect: false and if max selected options are limited then you can select more than that limit. – Glaudia

Answer 2

Working for me

$('.select2').each(function() { 
     $(this).select2({ 
        dropdownParent: $(this).parent(),
        closeOnSelect: false
     });
});
