How to show grid over elements and center elements to the grid?

Question

I'm using Adobe Illustrator CS6.

I've create some elements, such as a simply gray rectangles with black border.

I've enabled the Grid on the settings (Gridline Every 10px, Subdivisons 10).

Here's the result:

I'd like to have it to "snap" with the pixel, not in the middle of them.

Also, I'd like to see the grid "over" my elements (such happens in Photoshop); somethings like this (Photoshop counterpart):

Is it possible? Thanks

The second point works fine, thanks! For the first, not really. Already tried, it changes nothing :(

I Guess It is for the stroke ubication: center, outside or inside? Also when selecting the shape, uncheck Align objects to pixel grid

Awesome man! Thanks! Also: is there any way to set this properties (stroke ubication) as default? It was center, I'd like to have it "inside" every time.
