To fix the second problem, in ~/.zshsrc set HISTFILE to a file where you
want to save the history and SAVEHIST to the number of lines to save.
If you make this large, set HISTSIZE to the same value (not needed but
usually the right thing to do). In my ~/.zshsrc I have
HISTSIZE=1000
if (( ! EUID )); then
HISTFILE=~/.history_root
else
HISTFILE=~/.history
fi
SAVEHIST=1000
To fix the first problem, it sounds like you probably want to add
"setopt SHARE_HISTORY" to your ~/.zshrc but there are other
possibilities described in the "History" section of the zshoptions
manual page.
