Using a tissue to check if one's haidh has ended

Q:

1. If a woman, to check the end of her period, cleans her private part, places a tissue there, waits 30 minutes, checks and sees no discharge - does this mean her period is over? Should she wait longer than 30 min before deciding?

2. Also at the beginning/middle of her period, does she have to make ghusl and pray during the times when blood is not flowing? For example, she sees blood at the beginning of her habit and realizes her period has started. Then she sees no blood for about half a day, then she sees blood again and the blood continues for days. During this half a day, is she considered to be on her period?

Remembering to make sajdah sahw while reciting Durood-e-Ebrahim

Q: When sajda-e-sahw is to be done, the procedure is that it will be performed in the last qa'dah, i.e. after tashahhud, one salam to right and then 2 sujood. Sometimes due to carelessness I recite part of durood after tashahhud and then realize that I have to do sajda-e-sahw then what should I do at that moment? Should I proceed to sajda-e-sahw at that moment?
