Long Answer

1. Ove was deliberately trying to prevent a Mercedes driver from getting either of two free spots in the lot, out of spite. He managed to block the driver so that the Toyota got one spot while he took the other. He soon realizes he unwittingly gave the spot to his annoying new neighbors, and he doesn't like them thinking he intentionally helped them out. (Chapter 4)

2. Ove believes that he'll be reunited with Sonja. He thinks people may wear uniforms in the afterlife to help maintain order. He worries about what Sonja will think of him, showing up there unemployed and wearing a dirty suit. He seems to think the afterlife is much like the life he knows, except he'll no longer be separated from his wife.
