Hey Bob,
Thanks for reaching out.
We do not endorse any theme and it is actually a very bad practice for theme authors to include plugins inside their themes.
So, unfortunately you might be using an out-of-date version of The Events Calendar on your site.
I would recommend DELETING the version of The Events Calendar included by your theme. Then just install the real, free, actual version of the plugin which is found here → http://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar
If issues persist with the real, actual version of The Events Calendar, then contact your theme author about those issues because their theme should support the real version of The Events Calendar.
Neither of the issues you mention are ones that I can recreate myself or that we have other reports of at this time, so that’s why I assume that your version is out-of-date and/or being broken by the theme.
