For question 2, the answer is no. There are plenty of distinct hyperbolic knots (and hence having distinct fundamental group) with the same volume. For example, the Conway and Kinoshita-Terasaka knots differ by a mutation, and hence their complements have the same volume. You can get arbitrarily many knots with the same volume by doing mutations on knots that contain many Conway spheres.
