1) is there a way to have a different header image on each page?
Yes. Just set a Featured Image that is equal to or bigger than the header image dimension, and that featured image will be used as the header when that page/post is displayed.

2) is there a way to have slider images from posts show without any text whatsoever?
Use the “Background image and excerpt” slider style, and then hide the excerpt using Custom CSS.
