The documentation and other books/articles on basic SQL will help in the first case. Showing what work you have tried up to this point will help with the second. Your tables also will be cumbersome to use as designed, but your immediate question is easily answered with the existing schema. In short the link to contact from salesperson is questionable since employee already links there. There is not enough context to provide alternatives but it is worth looking into.
