Answer 1

Theme: Two friends might be friends at one point, but may be enemies at another.

Mood: Dangerous

Hope this helps if you need anything else just ask

Answer 2

Its in the name  the swimming contest. I would say the setting is a pool.
 The mood could be nervous happy. I've never read the book so don't take my word for it.
