1) Not an option. You must file FBAR. Otherwise, criminal plus civil charges are possible. See link below for the new voluntary disclosure program.

My advice is to consult your CPA or find a lawyer if you are late in filing prior years' FBAR. Due date is 6/30.

2) You report income and expenses separately on Sch. E. Two properties' total income and expenses will be lumped together to report one income/loss on Sch. E. Therefore, you do not need to worry about how to combine them together.
