With respect to a), use hangcaption.sty -- that's precisely what it is
designed to do.  To retrieve it via e-mail, include:
 SENDME STY.HANGCAPTION
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). 
To retrieve it via anonymous ftp, go to Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) and
look in [FILESERV.STY].

With respect to b) [I haven't tried this, but it's a good guess], try:
 \caption{\label{fig:tree} A tree grows in Brooklyn.\protect\cite{BugsBunny}}
                                                    ^^^^^^^^
My reasoning is that the \cite is being written out (as are \chapters, 
\sections, etc.) then recalled for processing in subsequent runs (which is
where my guess is you are having problems).  By \protect'ing it, you should
be passing the command verbatim to the auxilliary file and processed
appropriately in subsequent usage.  As a very general rule of thumb, you
need to \protect just about every command included in text passed to an
auxilliary file (i.e., it might be wise to include \protect\label as well
if you insist on including the \label in the \caption).
