1. Yes, there are top mounted brake levers made for Cyclocross. They intercept the cable on its way from the road levers to the brakes. There are lots to choose from at the link below. You should be able to get some and have them installed at your LBS.

2. Yes, those 45's will look 'very' strange if you are running a 700x23 tire.
