As Salaamu Alaikoum,

Praise be to Allah.

In regards to the first question, If the Imam is the one asking for donations for the building of a Mosque then there is nothing wrong with that for the Prophet(saw) used to mention giving and helping others for the sake of Allah in his khutbahs and this is the job of the Imam to encourage such charitable acts.

However, if it is someone else interrupting the Khutbah asking for donations, this is wrong for the person listening to the khutbah is supposed to listen and remain silent [Bukhari]

In regards to the second question, you should be able to tell if the person you are taking your information from is reliable or not based on the information he gives you. If the person answers questions based on Quran and Sunnah and gives you the evidence to support his answer then there is no need to ask him where he studied. Everything should be based on Quran and Sunnah.. not anything else.

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
