Witr Salaah in the Harams

Q: I am a follower of the Hanafi Mazhab. At the Haramain the Witr prayer during Ramadaan is conducted in Jamaah. At times they pray as 2 + 1 rakaats and sometimes as 3 rakaats. Also they raise their hands during Dua-e-Qunoot which during the night of Shab e Qadr and the night of Quran Khatam which is on 29th night of Ramadhan the Dua e Qunoot goes on for approximately half an hour.

Please advise in the circumstances narrated above:

(1)What type of Niyat should I make for Witr namaaz not being sure whether it is going to be 2 + 1 or 3 rakaats together?

(2) should I also raise the hands during Dua e Qunoot which we normally do not do in Hanafi Mazhab.

In the huge gathering it is practically difficult to move away and not participate in the Witr.

Q: Is it permissible to keep amulets (Taweez). An Imaam gave it to us as we have nazar and other problems. Please let me know if it is a sin to keep amulets which have Quraanic Aayaat?

Government assistance

Q: Government employees in India and may be in other countries too, receive monthly pension post their retirement from active service, from the government funds till their death.

Or after the iddat period of the second talaaq does the third one fall?
