1) It's never really explained, so it could just be a plot hole. Since Iggy portrayed Dio in his "Shadow" form instead of his heart-motief costume at the end of Part 3, it could be explained that Iggy had seen a picture of Dio's body at some point. Also before joining the Joestar group, Iggy was kept at the Speedwagon Foundation which could definitely have survalence footage or photos of Dio at some point, perhaps when he was off recruiting his new minions or during his travels detailed in Part 5 and 6.

Besides, Iggy didn't portray Dio perfectly. If you look closely, Dio's pants don't have the suspenders hanging loosely from the sides nor does Dio have the Joestar birthmark on his back. This supports the theory that Iggy had loose knowledge of what Dio looked like beforehand, but not the minor details.

2) Star Platinum cannot defeat The Fool, due to it simply being made of sand and able to reform. This is made even harder due to the fact that The Fool is seemingly unaffected by water. However, Star Platinum could instead attempt to target Iggy himself by distracting or overwhelming him. Due to it's short range and low durability, The Fool would be relatively easy to break though and therefore the enemy could target its master. If Iggy didn't have to worry about this happen, he wouldn't have a need to flee when the tide of battle shifts to his opponent.
