Answer 1

Take a look at Open Broadcaster Software
From their website:

• High performance real time video/audio capturing and mixing, with unlimited scenes you can switch between seamlessly via custom transitions.
• Intuitive audio mixer with per-source filters such as noise gate, noise suppression, and gain. Take full control with VST plugin support.
• Filters for video sources such as image masking, color correction, chroma/color keying, and more.
• Powerful and easy to use configuration options. Add new Sources, duplicate existing ones, and adjust their properties effortlessly.
• Streamlined Settings panel for quickly configuring your broadcasts and recordings. Switch between different profiles with ease.
• Light and dark themes available to fit your environment.

Answer 2

The best lightweight screen capturing software is Camstudio as it is only 11 Mb.

• Record from your screen
• Open source
• Add annotations / audio supported
• Save video in any video format (quality is adjustable/frame rates)
• Screen capturing modes (fullscreen, part)

Also check the OBS Studio and FlashBack Express. These two softwares got more features than the lightweight Camstudio. You would be able to do a professional job.

• Audio mixer
• Streamlined settings panel for quickly configuring your broadcasts
• Various plugins
• Customizable profiles with customized settings
• Sub region (the screen capturing area is customizable)

But there is this thing that you should note:

• Scene transitions are hard cut. It is not much nice.
