Answer 1

Try adding it this way:

<AppBarButton Label="BitmapIcon" Click="AppBarButton_Click">
    <AppBarButton.Icon>
        <BitmapIcon UriSource="ms-appx:///Assets/icon/1.png"/>
    </AppBarButton.Icon>
</AppBarButton>

Check also if the path is correct and that the image is in the correct format to be displayed. You could also give a try using Blend to check if the image is working.
