Re 2: It's clear that some government has a great deal of latitude. The Constitutional question is whether the federal government has that latitude on a governance (not commerce) topic.
2) Given that corporations exist only as a legal construct, I'm pretty certain that the government has a great deal of lattitude in what it can compel corporations to do or refrain from doing. It's worth noting that the US law also treats corporations as people; however, it does so because of the law itself (1 U.S.C. §1); modifications to that law can alter the nature of corporations in US law.
