1) Addressed in the original post. "According to the 9/11 Commission Report ... at 8:26 AM eastern time, the hijacking was confimed." "At 9:10 American flight 77 was confirmed hijacked." This was confirmed both by the FAA, and NORAD, who were contacted at the same time in both cases.
2) Yes, NORAD was aware only a few minutes after the control towers in contact with the planes were aware. The times were listed above.
Both of these you can find in the official copy of the 9/11 Comission Report. I hope this opens up the information so that it is not limited.
Edit: the 9/11 Commision Report, and the FEMA report on the crash sites are the most complete sources of official information approved by the government about the 9/11 attacks. All other sources are media based, and I would like to keep it as official as possible.
