1. I never said it was a requirement. I said that presidential candidates have done it routinely for decades to demonstrate to the voting public that they have nothing to hide as far as their personal financial situation goes, and the natural inference to draw from Trump's refusal to do so is that he does have something to hide in that regard. Not necessarily something illegal, but perhaps it would show that he has been lying about something that he has been claiming in the campaign about his business acumen.
I sympathize with the viewpoint of "don't do something purely because it's tradition", but there is actually a reason why the public should want to know as much as reasonably possible about prospective Presidents. Do you disagree?
2. "The constitution" is a pretty bad answer. If the existence of the constitution guaranteed that a president would do a good job and not abuse the powers of the office, Nixon would be remembered as one of our better presidents. For that matter, why are you worried about Hillary Clinton if all you need to do to prevent abuse of power is to remind her that the constitution exists?
I will ask you again, if Trump's promises are worthless except in the context of a binding legal document, what binding legal document exists to assure us that Trump has any intention whatsoever of doing any of the things he has promised you he would do? Maybe he'd be happy to let ISIS through immigration for $10,000 per terrorist, cash only. As long as he could find a constitutional way to do it. He doesn't want to build a wall, and if he did he wouldn't make Mexico pay for it. He'd make New Mexico pay for it, and tell us he didn't specify "which Mexico" he was talking about.

No, Sony should not do anything stupid like releasing the PS5 so early ...
We haven't gotten very far yet in advancing lithography technology so there won't by much cost savings to be had in producing more powerful chips ...
Preferably, I'd like them to keep going strong until at least 2020 in time for 7nm transistors so they could put out true next gen hardware with performance of at least 20 TFLOPs so we could get our raytraced games ...
