#1. Turning the player off via the off switch will only mess up the clock (which i bet you don't need), slightly increase the startup time and save a nice amount of battery power.
#2. Only charge the player when it is ON. When you turn it off you physically disconnect the battery from the device, thus it won't recharge if the player is turned off via the switch.
Hope this answers your questions.
