Answer 1

Set the padding-left to a greater value on your inputs, and decrease the width of your textarea.

When you're designing your form it would be good to put a temporary border around your inputs to see where they are actually positioned, and when you're done just take it off.

Answer 2

padding:10px;

(or more) on input and textarea.
