Answer 1

1. Open \Presentation\Nop.Web\Infrastructure\RouteProvider.cs file
2. Find

routes.MapLocalizedRoute("Category",
                 "**c**/{categoryId}/{SeName}",
                 new { controller = "Catalog", action = "Category", SeName = UrlParameter.Optional },
                 new { categoryId = @"\d+" },
                 new[] { "Nop.Web.Controllers" });

and replace it with

routes.MapLocalizedRoute("Category",
                            "categories/{categoryId}/{SeName}",
                            new { controller = "Catalog", action = "Category", SeName = UrlParameter.Optional },
                            new { categoryId = @"\d+" },
                            new[] { "Nop.Web.Controllers" });

3. Do almost the same in \Libraries\Nop.Services\Seo\SitemapGenerator.cs file (replace {0}c/{1}/{2} with {0}categories/{1}/{2})
