Answer 1

• Update brew: brew update
• Install bash with brew install bash
• Add /usr/local/bin/bash to /etc/shells
• Change the default shell with chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash

You don't normally have to change any settings in Terminal or iTerm 2. Both of them default to opening new shells with the default login shell.
