I have solved problem number one...

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{jurabib}
\bibliographystyle{jurabib}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\jbyearaftertitle
\jbdotafterbibentry
\setlength{\jbbibhang}{1.0em}
\renewcommand{\jbhowsepbeforetitle}{, }
\renewcommand*{\bibpldelim}{(}
\renewcommand*{\bibprdelim}{)}

\renewcommand{\bibapyldelim}{(}  %% <- left parenthesis
\renewcommand{\bibsnfont}[1]{#1)} %% <- right parenthesis
%\jbfirstcitepageranges
%\formatarticlepages{(}{)}

\jurabibsetup{

\formatpages{periodical}{(}{)}

According to Aristotle, there are three sorts of argument.\footnote{On 
this point I am indebted to \cite[31--37]{betz}.} The objectives of these 
are, respectively, certainty, acceptability, and persuasiveness. If the 
aim is certainty, the arguments need to be demonstrative, and the theory 
logic.\footnote{See the overview in \cite[32--33]{betz}.}  Briggs' survey 
of the uses of speech act theory in biblical interpretation gives us a 
useful introduction.\footnote{\cite[12]{briggs}.}

\bibliography{testlit}

I'm stuck with your second problem.

I have no luck with the \formatpages command !!
