Answer 1

It's hard to get a positive ID of the tree without flowers or seeds, but from the leaves it appears to be a poplar, like aspen or cottonwood.

Leaf margins turning brown, leaves yellowing and dropping, can surely be related to the extremely dry and windy conditions you describe = water deficit (drought stress). Give the tree an immediate deep watering and then once a week through the summer hot dry period.
Insect pest activity can be secondary to the drought stress. From the photo the feeding doesn't appear severe.
