Graham already provided the answer to question 1.  For question 2, filter on
dhcpfo.serverstatus to find your packets of interest ( == 11 for "recover wait",
or == 7 for "recover done").

The server state information will only be present if the payload-data
serverstate option is present (DHCP_FO_PD_SERVERSTATE = 18), so you could also
filter for dhcpfo.optioncode == 18 to reveal only those packets where the
serverstatus is present, or better yet, simply filter using dhcpfo.serverstatus
alone.
