Answer 1

1. Internet Options -> General
2. Click on "Settings" button for the Tabs section
3. Make sure that "Always open pop-ups in a new window" is checked under "When a pop-up is encountered".
4. Restart Browser

Optionally if you want another program to open a new window (say you click a link from within outlook) you can check "A new window" under "Open links from other programs in:"

Answer 2

Did you try to reset IE settings? You can do this from, IE Options->Advanced Tab->Reset.

Keep in mind that, doing this will disable all 3rd party add-ons and reset your settings.
