Why each option

Increasing the 'Maximum failures in the specified period' for a cluster role like App1 will not ensure it runs on Server2 after Server1's unexpected shutdown.

AYes
BNoCorrect

This setting dictates how many times a resource can fail on its *current* node within a timeframe before the cluster attempts to fail it over or take it offline. Increasing this value means the cluster will try to restart App1 more times on the failed Server1, delaying failover to Server2 and thus failing to meet the goal of App1 continuing to run on Server2.
