Default Use of ? marks in URLs

Hi Folks,
I have two questions please. One involves extensions and how changing them affects SE's re-spidering your site and the other has to do with how sites with ?'s marks get spidered.

Will changing ".htm to .php" affect search engine optimization? I'm helping someone with a site and they have a lot of pages. They are not using any templates or includes so the navigation is a bit of a mess. I want to use includes to make the navigation the same on each page but they are worried about me changing the extensions. Will it have an affect?

I am using aardvark topsites as a topsites list for someone and they are worried about the question marks in the URLs. They want to make sure each page including those after the ? get spidered. Does anyone know how I can remove them or change it so that it will be spidered correctly by search engines?
