2.On I-765 it asks if I have applied for EAD before.I applied for OPT on F1 does that count?

Yes it counts as having applied before, but you should still select "Permission to accept employment", instead of the renewal option. That's because you don't want to renew your OPT, you need and are eligible for a fresh EAD without the restrictions of OPT.
