I have no idea on your question number 2, but I do not think you have Jones’ autograph.
Rather, I think it more likely you have the copy presented to Jones by the Author, in this case Henry Chadwick. Someone else would have to examine the handwriting etc, but it is certainly possible you have a presentation copy of an early guide. It would be especially interesting if there are any notes or other markings in the guide.
You may already know of them, but there are books on baseball during the civil war, even some fiction.
