Jeet,

I think your question should really be directed to the annif.org
people, but I can give quick answers to 1 and 2,

For 1, see https://lists.tartarus.org/pipermail/snowball-discuss/2013-July/=
001478.html
This question has often come up, and 2013 was not the first time, but
I think the note summarises (or summarizes) the issue fairly well.

For 2, snowball is for word stemming, not word respelling.
color/colour is like gaol/jail, a word that can be spelled in two
ways. Such normalisation would have to be done outside snowball
therefore. Perhaps annif does this.

Martin
